I used that, but it still gives me a transparent background. This is what I've got:
*Label ControlLabel
ControlLabelX 120
ControlLabelY -38
ControlLabelWidth 50
ControlLabelHeight 20
ControlLabelFontColor 000000
ControlLabelJustify center
ControlLabelText "disk c"
ControlLabelSolidColors 575757 8E8E8E 000000 ;main color/light bevel/dark bevel
ControlLabelSolidBevelSize 5
ControlLabelAlwaysOnTop
ControlLabelOnLeftClick !Execute ["C:"]
The label appears, but with a transparent background. The main problem seems to be the clickability, as opposed to with shortcut2 the label seems to perform the action only when the text itself (not the transparent area) is clicked.
Basically, what I am trying to create are "desktop shortcuts" to C:, D:, Firefox, my other computers, etc, but without having to create an image for every single shortcut. Not only would this save time, but you can imagine that it's easier to drastically change the wallpaper without having to create new images :)
Right now I've got two images, very simple (as I like it :) - background of #575757, white text, and a small black border around it. I'm thinking this should be achievable with xLabel as well, but the documentation that came with the module and the one I find don't help me out with the background or border colors.
