Is there a way to have just the text for lsxcommand, im trying to have a see through mesh screen behind it using shortcut and i want a textonly lsxcommand to go over it, any help is really appreciated :)

what about this?

CommandTransparentEditBox BOOL
This will make the text in the edit box draw transparently over the background. If you don't set this and are using a bitmap for the background, the text will still use the background color.
This behavior has changed in 1.9.0, and will probably change again.

either im not doing it correctly or its not what im looking for, i want to know if i can have the lsxcommand use magicpink, so i can have any pixels using FF00FF be see through.

You can't make the lsxcommand window itself transparent. CommandTransparentEditBox makes the edit box transparent to the lsxcommand background image. So you can use a bitmap and have it show behind the text. (but note that it fails for no apparent reason on a few systems, so if it doesn't seem to work, that may be why)

you can use XLabel to put it in a box and then set the boxes alpha transparency like so

OR use the LSTransparent module to do it. LSTransparent is a little flakey though you have to load it first and even then there is no guarantee that it will make your module transparent.
