I've tried to do some buttons were the background is transparent but still see the text of the button, this is for a game that me and my friends are trying to make and i'm building the interface of the main menu right now. I'm also new to programming and i'm trying to learn by my self

both examples below just didn't work and even if they did work they probably would cover up the entire button to the point were you cant see anything of it

What I have tried:

Me.Button1.visibility = Not Me.Button1.visibility

and

button1.BackColor = Color.Transparent

You have to create your own customized Control. How this could be done is be seen here :
