This site has some examples of how to create transparent forms and objects.
Maybe one of these will help get you started.

I do not think this is possible using standard controls but I did something 
similar before using labels (with backstyle set to transparent) as much as 
possible as well as Lines and Shapes. Then you have to mimic the 
functionality of other controls. 
By example: 
TextBox: show the Textbox only if it has the focus, otherwise hide it and 
show the text using a label. 
Check Box: show only the box itself and, again, show the text using a label.

Command Button: draw the button using a shape (or two shapes of 
different colors to enhance appearance) and then place a label that fill the

shape and center the caption. 
Maybe you can devise other pseudo-controls this way or using another 
transparent control.
