I've tried doing this by again setting BG_STYLE_CUSTOM and in the

I think you just aren't actually drawing it, and you need to do:
dc.SetBrush(wx.TRANSPARENT_BRUSH)
dc.SetPen(wx.TRANSPARENT_PEN)
w, h = self.GetSizeTuple()
dc.DrawRectangle(0, 0, w, h)
Hmm, I thought
dc.Clear()
should paint the whole widget with the background brush... at least that's what I was trying. I'll try your suggestion and let you know how it goes.
Thanks Stephen.

That'll draw a "Transparent" box over the whole size of the control.
Just calling 'SetBackground' sets what the background brush would be-- but doesn't /do/ anything. You're responsible (i've recently learned-- thanks Robin) for drawing the full bounds of your control. You just didn't actually paint it on.
