C#

I have a Menu Strip in my winform. I added items on this.While I take mouse over menu strip items background color changes with a fixed color system color. I want to remove this background. I tried it with on mouse over and hover event with change back color and background image change.But still I am not getting as desired.

c#  i don't really understand the logic behind bit shifting when encoding to base 64

char[] source;
        int length, length2, length3;
        int blockCount;
        int paddingCount;

        {
            int temp = 0;
            source = input;
            length = input.Length;

            //find how many padding are there
            for (int x = 0; x < 2; x++)
            {
                 if (input[length - x - 1] == '=')
                    temp++;
            }
            paddingCount = temp;
            //calculate the blockCount;
            //assuming all whitespace and carriage returns/newline were removed.
            blockCount = length / 4;
            length2 = blockCount * 3;
        }
