I'm having a few problems creating a transparent form. The reason I want to do this is because I'm attempting to make a custom border (one that isn't exactly square).I can already get the form to be transparent, then I set my custom background image, which all works perfect, it even detects when the mouse enters the image, which is great. (I use transparency key to make the form transparent)
The problem is, if I add ANY control, or even if I just save the file, NOTHING else, the whole thing has a spaz attack.. Instead of having the image with the transparent form, the square form appears every time I run the app.
I try to achieve to paint a form with a gradient backcolor and overlap an image with transparency. This is possible? I want using a tile background image with transparent background and paint the background with a custom linear gradient.
I have been trying to make a "skinnable" program, and I am having trouble making it so that when the user clicks a button, it changes to a different image for the background.
How do I change the Background Image of a form ? not with the properties I know how to do it from there I guess . but I want to change it with coding .How do I do that ?
edit : and another thing when I try to add an image to a image box it shows me the image error image. you know when it can't load the image. it actually showed it for 1 second and then it disappear .here is the code for the Image box

Basically I'm trying to make a layout change on a form if a link label is pressed. My main form I want this on has a "default" layout with a background image in place. What I want to do is, name the link label "Plain Layout". When the link label is clicked, remove or "hide" the background image and replace it with the background color of "control". After this action is performed, I need the text to change back to "Default Layout" and "show" the image.
Although my code compiles, it does not result in a change of the background picture of button1 here is my current code. Is it possible that my condition contains some error? or is the command itself wrong? [code]

i'm currently wonder how to let the users change the font size via a combo box(I have it set up for Small,Medium and Large) That should be fairly easy. The next is more complex. I want users to be able to browse for an image and use it as the background image of the program.

I'm trying to make a visual map editor, and figured that a DataGridView would be the best way to go. I would like to make it so that you can click one of many buttons to set which new image the grid cell will be set to when you click it. I've set up pretty much everything except that I can't figure out how to set the background image of the cell that I clicked.
I have a tab control that I would like to set the background image of each button's interface to the same image. I set the color to transparency and set the background image, but the background image only works on one button's interface.
I am trying to assign a button to let a resource ( JPEG image ) become the background of my form. But instead, the background becomes blank. Here is what I wrote:

Don't know how to copy images to resources file on VB and create background change button. I am trying to add my graphics folder to the resources folder in my project but I get some kind of error.
