It seems that the transparent background isn't really transparent, but just uses a background color that matches the foreground color of the form. I think there are some workarounds, but I don't have time at the moment to experiment. I will check later.

I did a bit of experimenting, but I couldn't find any simple solution. One idea I have is to put both picture and text into an HTML control that covers the form. Maybe someone else has some ideas.

Sorry, Lube, haven't seen that you've already set -24 to backcolor. I've solved that using DrawText method, but I do not know if Owen has already had a test with it. In a single case I used it in a form.I recommend you to have a try with DrawImage and DrawText and a final StoreImage.
Regards, Fred
