How To Make Form Background Color to Transparent in C# using Visual Studio?
Why would anyone want to make their windows form transparent? There are times when you want your application to be more fancy and inclusive to the desktop colors. And in such case having some level of transparency or say opacity definitely helps with the design.
Though many app developers avoid the transparency effect to speed up the windows form loading. So basically what we are doing is adjusting the transparency level and setting the Windows form to load with some transparent effect.
Usually we are going to call the following code in our constructor when the form loads.
System.Drawing.Color.Transparent
As you can see this allows the forms to be drawn complete transparent and we don't get to adjust the transparency as well.
You have to override the following function in order to have the transparent background.
protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs e)
{
//set the transparency here
}
This is the way we do it in the video as well. A little bit different though.
So that's simple demo for you to check out.
