Hi,

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying...

But under the hood (in Win32 for Windows CE) all windows
implicitly have the WS_CLIPSIBLINGS and WS_CLIPCHILDREN
styles (You can't turn it off.) So if something that is painted is another
window / control, it can't be transparent--You'd have to explicitly
paint the "background underneath" yourself because when the client
area of the window underneath gets painted, the child's clip area
gets excluded, which can lead to artifacts in the transparent area.
I'm not sure about your button color problems though.

Hope this helps...
