Hi Rui,
You\'re doing nothing wrong; it\'s a known \"feature\" of the client at the moment. In fact it\'s to do with PictureBox objects that overlay eachother and a Microsoft limitation. What in fact happens is that transparency is working but it\'s actually showing the colour of the base panel (floorplan) instead of the background colour of the picturebox you are placed on top of. If you want to see this then change the background colour of your floorplan and see what I mean.
Apart from Microsoft fixing this limitation (search the internet for Transparent picturebox and you\'ll see the people ranting about this) the only solution I can do to fix is to move to GDI+ drawing; I am actively considering this for a future release.
Regards
Julian
