Hello,

how do I make form background colour transparent
when I set border style to none?

Have a look at the form's Region property or its TransparencyKey
property.

Hi Cor,

Can I set on a window form border style is none?

Set its FormBorderStyle property to None.

Is that true then opacity=0% works too on nt based systems.

Regions are supported since Windows 95, nevertheless, transparency using
the TransparencyKey property is AFAIK only supported on Windows
2000/XP/2003.

If you want to create a form with a simple irregular shape (round
borders or something like this), I would create a region (for example
from a GraphicsPath) and set the form's Region property to this region.
