Custom Shaped Windows Forms in c# problem

Question

I have developed a windows application. I put a rectangle picture as a background pic for my form. In that pic, outside the rectangle, it is colored red. In my form I set that color as the tranparency color so it would show only that rectangle or any other shape as a form.

It works well in my own computer, but whenever I try to use it in another computer which also has the .Net framework installed there, the color does not hide and the transparency does not work. It shows both the rectangle and the backgroung color. What should i do?

I'm using C# in a Visual studio. The application is written in .Net 2.0.

Solution 1

What color depth/resolution does this other computer have ? I wonder if it's a display driver issue. If the app runs, then there's no reason for it to not work as expected.

the resolution on the destination computer is the same,though i think that the resolution cannot be the problem,i think i might be the framework,but i installed the same version of the dot net framework on that computer,i have no idea where's the problem.any way thanks for the answer.I'm still looking for the answer to solve the problem.
