Hi. &nbsp;I'm using VB.NET in Visual Studio 2005. &nbsp;I'm using a small tiled JPG as a background on my forms and PNG graphics as buttons so I can have transparency. &nbsp;The forms like this load super slow. &nbsp;You see the form load, then see all the pieces like text boxes and buttons get put into place. &nbsp;Is there a way to fix this? &nbsp;I have a hard time believing this is too much for such a modern system to handle. &nbsp;Thanks.
