What exactly are you trying to do? Just posting two pictures and saying "background is not transparent" doesn't give anyone useful info.

        public void ShowImage(string imagePath)
        {
            Bitmap image = new Bitmap(imagePath);

            
            image.MakeTransparent(Color.Transparent);

            PictureBox pictureBox = new PictureBox
            {
                Image = image,
                SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize, 
                
            };
            this.Controls.Add(pictureBox);
            this.ClientSize = pictureBox.Size;
        }

        public void ShowImage(string imagePath)
        {
            Bitmap image = new Bitmap(imagePath);

            
            image.MakeTransparent(Color.Transparent);

            PictureBox pictureBox = new PictureBox
            {
                Image = image,
                SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize, 
                
            };
            this.Controls.Add(pictureBox);
            this.ClientSize = pictureBox.Size;
        }

What is the background color of your picturebox?

Buddy•2w ago

Winforms doesn't exactly support transparency, not very well at least.

BlckViper•2w ago

Should be transparent. Yeah i think thats the problem i‘m running into :hidethepain:

Buddy•2w ago

Set the BackColor to transparent too https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/winforms/controls/how-to-give-your-control-a-transparent-background?view=netframeworkdesktop-4.8

Hm, I‘ll try it later after I‘m home from work :harold: But it isn't a button. Can you show me with a little snippet what you mean? 😄

Buddy•2w ago

Button has nothing to do with it all controls have a BackColor property

BlckViper•2w ago

Okay Can you give me a little snippet of what you mean? Like insert it into the snippet if its that what you mean?

Buddy•2w ago

No. Read the docs

Thanks a lot for your comment but the parameter with .BackColor = Color.Transparent doesn't work

Motley•7d ago

Pretty sure you don't actually want image.MakeTransparent(Color.Transparent); you use that to make a color that is NOT already transparent into a transparent color. For example changing solid pure white to transparent. It has been a long time since I've dealt with this, so take that with a grain of salt. Also, why add a picturebox to the control isntead of just setting the background of the control? If you really need the picturebox, then make the picturebox background transparent too at the very least.

@Motley I think I already tried that but it doesn’t work
