I want to know how to draw transparent images in Microsoft Paint for Windows 7.
I searched on Google but couldn't find anything for Microsoft Paint in Windows 7.
E.g. I want to draw a star for my application. But I want that when I display it on black background then there should be no rectangular image with a white background and a star on it. It must be a proper star.

Try Paint.NET for size. I tried GimpShop before, but did not like it. Paint.NET is to MS Paint what Notepad++ is to Notepad :)
To change an image to have a transparent background:
AlphaMask.dll
to\Paint.NET\Effects
(note you will likely need to unblock the file)Effects Menu
>Alpha Mask...
Invert Mask
, checkMix Alpha
, leave checkedPaste from Clipboard
OK
File Menu
>Save as
, save as typePNG (*.png)
OK
