Making a transparent tab background?

I was wondering if I could draw the background of a tabpage in C# transparent like so I can see behind the window itself. I though it would give a cool effect but I don't know if or how I can do it.

Set "Background" property to "Transparent":

<TabControl Background="Transparent">
    // ... TabItems definition
</TabControl>

And then you can see the the window behind.

You can set the Appearance property of TabControl to Buttons Instead of using BackColor property. That would bring transparent tab page look and cool effect.

VB & C# syntax

TabPage1.BackColor = Color.Transparent

this will show the tabpage1 color as the form color.
