I recently used this solution and it worked for me:

I had to create a separate assembly containing the WPF form because the rest of my project uses WinForms. From there it's quite straight forward: Use a background image with transparency and set the form to transparent.

Though you might need to change WindowStyle="None" to something other or else you'll have no close button etc.
