You are using layers here right?

Which "layer method" are you using? Index transparency or layer transparency?

Cheers

then here is no transparent color.

I think in that case what you want to do is draw the labels, but without doing the background box.

You mean derive the entire DrawDescription method deleting the box drawing?
My only problem of doing this is that in a next template upgrade Ill miss your changes to the code.
But I dont know other way to do this.

have you tried setting InfoBackgroundColor to color:none?
I'm not sure if that will help but it's worth a try.
Let me know.
