User Picture transparent? Is it possible?

Hi,
here's my next "problem":
Is it possible to change the user picture in transparent?
All I tried so far has miscarried: 32bit bitmap with alpha channel, png and gif pictures. 24bit Bitmap with "magic pink".
I'm afraid that transparency is not possible, is it?
The only thing I could do was a pseudo transparency with an image which looks like the background in this area.
Do you have any other tips for me?

The user picture in the start menu I had almost disabled with this function:
Start Menu > Panels > Basic > UserPane (USERPIC:BOOL = 1) -> (USERPIC:BOOL = 0)
But this has only an effect in the start menu but not for the logon screen.

The user account picture doesn't support 32-bit images I'm afraid. If you wanted to remove it from the logon or use a custom image you'd have to modify the DirectUI code to do so, which can be difficult because if you mess up you can't log on.
