I created a transparent form, but the text in my label has a black border
around it.
I created a new form with a label with the text color "red" and the
background color of "Transparent."
I added this code to the project:

   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
      ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
       hideMe(Me)
   End Sub

   Public Sub hideMe(ByVal obj As Object)
       Dim Img As Bitmap = New Bitmap(1, 1)
       obj.BackgroundImage = Img
       obj.TransparencyKey = Img.GetPixel(0, 0)
   End Sub

The result looks like this:

Notice the black border around the text.
Is this caused by anti-aliasing?  Can it be turned off?

Also, the bitmap I create is black.  Can I make it the "Control" color?  It
looks sort of like tan, but I am not sure how to change the bitmap color in
code.

Thanks in advance,

Matthew
