    transparent form visible controls accessible desktop shortcuts

    Hey people! Can anyone help me out. I'm trying to put together a simple form where the form itself is transparent but the controls are visible and the desktop shortcuts beneath the form can still be clicked.
    I'm sure there's a better way of phrasing this question but I'm a relative newb.

    Set your form backcolor to magenta, then set your form transparency key also to magenta...

    Sorry Paul! I was using the wrong colour, your solution worked perfectly. Thanks!
