Depending on what you mean by transparency this may not be possible: for example, if you have the hacked RichTextBox on top of other Controls, this will not work.

Do you really need the ability to have editable rich text ? Or could your needs be met by other controls (like multiple Labels) ?

Making a RichTextBox transparent is very hard.

Have you had a look at this here on CodeProject?
