Need help with semi-transparent form

Question

I am creating an application that mimics the windows desktop, so I need a invisible form with visible icons. The TransparencyKey property makes most of the form transparent but leaves traces of the "invisible" color around the edges of the icons. Does anybody know a way to solve this?

If you need form to 0% visible then you dodnt see the form and no question of seeing the controls on form

I am assuming the "icons" are buttons or picturebox controls with an image that contains transparency - if so try rendering the icons against the Form's background color instead.
