In a C# Winforms application with a transparent form, how can I have a Windows Media Player control with a specific opacity or transparency setting so that it 'blends' into the background.

I have set the uiMode to none, yet am not sure on how to make the content transparent.

You don't need to do any specific work. Just put the player control on the form and set the `Opacity` of form to a desired value like `50%`. The form, including the player and playing video will be shown with the opacity. – Reza Aghaei Apr 01 '16 at 02:39

Have you done any research? There is a tonne of information, this MSDN question is probably the [best](https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/12d4c726-70c8-4ac5-8105-c7f0739ed6b9/c-transparency-rendering-videos-windowsforms?forum=winforms) – Jeremy Thompson Apr 01 '16 at 02:57
