Hey there, if you haven't solve this yet, I have an answer that worked with me....
trying to create a 32 bits image with an Alpha chanel is to dificult... and trying to get the program for that is difficult too. so you can do this...
1° you need to set the Form.BackColor and the Form.TransparencyKey to the same color.. so when you are running the program, the color you set should be transparent.... you can test this by setting both colors White.. so the textboxes or other cotrols with this backcolor sohuld be trasparent... so now you can have a transparent form..
2° this step is the most complicated to explain cause you need to fix the image you are going to work with a program that supports multilayers... I have tried the Adobe Photoshop... it works perfectly for this....
3° when you are creating the image.. you need to set two layers... one transparent layer and the other is where you are going to create your image... the trasparent layer will be set to 100% transparency... and the other, none,..
4° it's when the thing is getting complicated. the parts of the image you are going to use as transparent, need to be erased so when you do this you should see throuh the layer to the trasparent one... then when you have done this.. you merge the layers. and then save the file as a PNG file cause this is the only that support the alpha channel or in this case.... the transparent layer...
5° so when you use the file in you aplication you should see throuh the transparent sectors the back color of the form and then when you run the application you should see throuh... and boila!!! you have your trasparent background..
PS... sorry about my writing I'm not to good with english....
hope this help

You need to change the color depth of which Your background image or you Windows environment
If it is the background image... take a look at your save-as options in the program you built the image in, hopefully there will be a way there.
