label backgrounds

I haven't been updating my maxgui in a while so this might have come up before but I can't find anything on it... I swear label backgrounds were transparent, now they default to black. The background color can be set using TGadget.SetColor but I what happen to transparency? Is there a way to set that or get that back?

Hmm, all combinations are working fine here:
Maybe you should really upgrade your MaxGui

Example:

SuperStrict
Import MaxGui.Drivers

thanks... actually what I meant was I hadn't updated until just today. so the behavior changed from older versions.

Anyway, your example helped me find the problem. I'm putting other gadgets on toolbars.... worked fine before. The fix now is to put a panel down first on the toolbar.

thanks again.
