I've successfully implemented code to change a form's background to a nice
blue gradient. It looks great!

But I'm having problems adding controls with transparent backgrounds to the
form. Specifically I'd like to add an image and a label with a transparent
background. At design time everything appears okay but when I run the code
it no longer works.

Might there be some articles on how to do this?
