AlphaForm

AlphaForm is a Microsoft Windows Forms control that allows you to use any 32 bit alpha channel image as a custom window frame. The control allows you to layout a 32 bit image with an alpha channel in the Forms designer and arrange additional controls within user specified areas of the image. At runtime, the control will generate a per pixel alpha composited Form with the desktop.

This control also supports:

1. Changing of the image at runtime (skinning)
2. Fade in or out with rate and ease in/ease out adjustment
3. Support for running under variable DPI settings
4. Form dragging either by dragging the image frame and optionally the background
