Tip:
Make your form wider.
Set the transparency.
Then make a Panel, behind the "kissing image".

The simplest approach is that you make an Image, with the "kissing" and the "panel" in the background.
Then use that as your Background image while you set the transparency of the form.

Now, your next problem is the Alphablend.



In my launchers, my approach is 2 forms.
1 form is the background (image), 2nd form is where the elements are (buttons, textboxes etc).
Then these 2 forms will be overlayed on top of each other.
Its a bit complex but it gets the work done.



Edit:
Mind you, WPF does this things a bit easier compared to win forms.
Im using Win Forms in my example but it should give you the idea how to implement it.

Good luck.

If need a launcher for Blade & Soul, you know who to contact. XD
