Ok well I got a working system now. I made that 1px bottomborder label and then I made another one that starts ghosted and covers the whole screen area above the bar. onenter for the bottom one turns off the ghosting for the top one, moves the bar, and then ghosts the bottomlabel. the onenter for the top one does the opposite. (i tried just moving the bottom 1px label but sometimes its not fast enough to catch the mouse as it leaves the bar and the bar gets stuck in the up position).

thanks for the help everyone
