'Making a transparent tab background?

I was wondering if I could draw the background of a tabpage in C# transparent like so I can see behind the window itself. I though it would give a cool effect but I don't know if or how I can do it.



Solution 1:[1]

You can set the Appearance property of TabControl to Buttons Instead of using BackColor property. That would bring transparent tab page look and cool effect.

Solution 2:[2]

VB & C# syntax

TabPage1.BackColor = Color.Transparent 

this will show the tabpage1 color as the form color.
