QuestionOdd Transparency behavior in VB.Net Panel Pin

Peter R. Fletcher6-Aug-21 4:02 
I have a small clock/calendar Applet that lives on my desktop, since (for at least some purposes) I like to have an analog clock. I recently decided to clean up the Panel that displays the clock to make the square background to the round clockface transparent, so that the clock face would just 'float' over the desktop. I discovered that this was not simply a matter of making the relevant area in the source image transparent, since the transparency 'disappears' when the image is loaded into the Panel. However, the following load code almost works when the panel is displayed:
VB
Private Function ConvertImageToRGBFormat(img As Image) As Image
        Dim temp As New Bitmap(img.Width, img.Height, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb)
        Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(temp)
        g.DrawImage(img, New Rectangle(0, 0, img.Width, img.Height), 0, 0, img.Width, img.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel)
        g.Dispose()
        temp.MakeTransparent(temp.GetPixel(1, 1)) ' pixel(1,1) is part of the transparent area
        Return temp
End Function

I say that it 'almost' works because the square background of the displayed image is, indeed, transparent, except for a very thin green 'halo' round the clock. I typically use bright green as the guide color for image areas that I am going to make transparent, so I initially thought that the feathering at the edges of the clock had caused this, and changed the color for the transparent area to a dark gray (similar to the background color on my desktop), so that there was no green anywhere in the image (or in its color palette). Notwithstanding this change, the green halo persists. This is how the Panel appears on the desktop, and this is the source image.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
