Problem with translucent background color
The other day I used Color.FromArgb() to make a nice translucent label, I ended up not using it but now I can't remember how I did it. I set the background color to Color.FromArgb(60,0,0,0); Which should be somewhat translucent, but it's still opaque. Is there anything I'm missing you think?

No errors, it's just not translucent at all.
I had used it before to make the black out effect that some web pages have now, I'd just unhide the label and have a dialog box pop up.

this is what I did and it worked fine...
Color Red = Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 0);
testlabel.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(60, Red);
