title: How do I make my form transparent, but what I draw on it not?
body: <p>I tried setting the opacity of my form to 50%, and then drawing a string on it. It seems that the string I draw on it also has an opacity of 50%. How would I draw a non transparent string , but let the form background show through 50%?</p>
  
  <p>Would also be willing to do this in WPF if it is possible, but I would need explicit instructions or an example project as I have never done it before.</p>
  
  <p>To clarify, I want the form background to be a black 80% opaque to what is underneath, and then I want to draw text, etc.. on it and have it appear 100% opaque.</p>
