PictureFormat.TransparentBackground Property (PowerPoint)
Determines whether parts of the picture that are the color defined as the transparent color appear transparent. Applies to bitmaps only. Read/write.
Syntax
expression .TransparentBackground
expression A variable that represents a PictureFormat object.
Return Value
MsoTriState
Remarks
Use the TransparencyColor property to set the transparent color.
If you want to be able to see through the transparent parts of the picture all the way to the objects behind the picture, you must set the Visible property of the picture's FillFormat object to msoFalse. If your picture has a transparent color and the Visible property of the picture's FillFormat object is set to msoTrue, the picture's fill will be visible through the transparent color, but objects behind the picture will be obscured.
The value of the TransparentBackground property can be one of these MsoTriState constants.

blueScreen = RGB(0, 0, 255)
Set myDocument = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
With myDocument.Shapes(1)
With .PictureFormat
.TransparentBackground = msoTrue
.TransparencyColor = blueScreen
End With
.Fill.Visible = msoFalse
End With
