Pictureboxes aren't transparent. Either use an API to cut a "hole" in the window or manage the drawing yourself. However, if you want to have variable transparency (i.e. an alpha channel) then use the GDI+ to draw a PNG. You could also merge two images by having on as the BackgroundImage and the other as the Image of a picture box.
