in start you see splash screen, you can easily make this using some innovative idea

Use WPF instead of WinForms. If you are stuck with winforms , then you can set some parts of the form area transparent, using TransparencyKey property of the window. Just set it to a specific colour, and then wherever that colour appears on the form it will be transparent. You should also set the FormBorderStyle property to None to get the best effect.

Hope this helps
