I got this code from ChatGPT but it's not working.
this.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(0, Color.Magenta); // Set the form's background color with an alpha value of 0
this.TransparencyKey = Color.Magenta; // Set the same color as the transparency key
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
// Create a linear gradient brush for the faded edges
using (var brush = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(
new Point(0, 0),
new Point(this.Width, this.Height),
Color.FromArgb(0, Color.White), // Start with a transparent color
Color.White)) // End with an opaque white color
{
// Create a graphics path representing the entire form
using (var path = new GraphicsPath())
{
path.AddRectangle(new Rectangle(0, 0, this.Width, this.Height));
path.CloseFigure();
// Set the clipping region to exclude the transparent form area
e.Graphics.SetClip(path, CombineMode.Exclude);
// Fill the clipped region with the gradient brush
e.Graphics.FillPath(brush, path);
}
}
}
I did the first code in form disigner but the second code is not working.
