Me.Text =  Me.ControlBox = False Me.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None Me.MaximizeBox = False Me.MinimizeBox = False Now each time the window needs to paint the background you need to copy the screen image that your window occupies and draw that image as your background. From there on you can draw whatever you want. Hope this helps gets you started anyway...
