I found and tried this example code:
This works well for making the whole form invisible, but I tried to make an image in Paint that was a 300x300 square with the corners painted red, hoping they'd disappear if I set that as the background image, but that didn't work. How would I go about doing that? Can I make a Paint image with parts painted red so those parts won't show? Also, using that code, most of the form was invisible, but I could still see the blue title bar and the blue around the whole edge of the form. Can I get rid of that too?
VB.NET:
BackColor = Color.Red
' Make the background color of form display transparently.
TransparencyKey = BackColor
