In the example it uses an simpson.png (not included !). But I just ran with an image on my machine with a mostly white background.
It skinned to the image nicely.

hi kinger, congrats on the 50000 points.

code does indeed work and it skins nicely. only problem i see is that its a bit on the slow side. for instance, im using a form set as a splashscreen, and using this code, it shows *after* the main form loads, so its taking a while to draw. on another sad note, it flickers for 1 second before drawing and its very noticeable.
does that happen in your computer too?
