The first pixel of image must have the same color of background and will be made transparent.

Other way is use 32 bit images with transparency channel.

first pixel is top left right? And it has to be the same color as the background of the whole thing? What if my background is animated between 5 colors, do i use the first color?

What is a 32 bit image? and how to make one?

do not save the format to png since you use paint.

32-bit is 24-bits and 8-bits transparent for each 16581375 color availble.
so its like having 4228250625 but 16581375 color are solid and 255 transparentcy for each.
the program i use for making 32-bits image is IconLover which can be found here.
