I am assuming this behaviour is by design, however I am wondering how to circumvent it.

I have a row of icons that I want to hide OnExit (or as an alternative after 5 seconds or so of no mouse activity within the row).

I have set a background image of 1x1 transparent png and stretched it:
*label pl4bg
pl4bgAddToGroup pl4
pl4bgx $mainbarleftx+200$
pl4bgwidth $ResolutionX-275-pl4bgx$
pl4bgImage "empty.png"
pl4bgOnEnter !none
pl4bgOnLeave !LabelHide pl4

However nothing happens. If I set the 1x1 pixel to a solid color the OnExit event works fine, or if I make it a 1x2 pixel with 1//2 transparent and 1/2 solid, OnExit for the solid 1/2 works fine.

So how can one go about having it transparent and still fire OnExit?

a) There's a special setting for handling this sort of thing somewhere in the xLabel docs, but...
b) Just try ckHotSpots or the newer xModule one (by ElkMonster, IIRC).

ok, used xHotspot to solve the problem.

FYI...you could hop on the IRC channel and get info like this a whole lot quicker. Would also help you not have to track 30 forum threads.
