Form transparency

[e]

Is it possible to have desktop objects which are subbordinate to the zorder
of a form show through the form via the standard alpha channel blending of
an ARGB png file?

For example, I have a transparent png file I wish to use as a splash screen,
made in photoshop it appears as green stained glass, so that objects behind
it show through to a certain degree, tinted green. When I display this as a
splash screen on a form, I want elements of the users desktop or other
running applications to appear as if they are also behind this green glass.
Can I do that?

Hello,

Is it possible to have desktop objects which are subbordinate
to the zorder of a form show through the form via the standard
alpha channel blending of an ARGB png file?

You can set the form's 'Opacity' property, but this will influence the
appearance of the whole form.
