Anyone know of any tutorials? or could anyone give me some pointers as to how to get it to work properly, I made an overlay, but in-game it's just a solid black box blocking the screen even though I have an alpha channel.

Do you compile your bitmap as 32-bit color ?

Okay, well I got the solid black box blocking the screen to disappear, but for some reason, gradients that I applied don't work, instead the whole screen is just masked in black.
