CEikLabel with overrided color and backgroud skin

[eekisa]

My application is skin aware and is thus using the backgound specified in Themes. How can I create a Label that has it's text specified in e.g. Red and the background is "transparent", meaning that the bitmap is visible thought label's background. OverrideColorL() seems to make the backround non-transparent :(

If anyone is interested, I overrided the Draw method to make my own skin-aware label control.

Hi I'm interested in how you got ur Draw method over ridden to get a transparent label. Please let me know ASAP.


Thanx

in Series 60 v 20 CEikLabel has a method SetBrushStyle()
call this method after construction with CGraphicsContext::ENullBrush parameter. This will help.

Yeah sure if you wanna share your override draw method for label. I have implemented the same label but the skin image on background of label is "some part of the skin image" which you cannot call as "transparent".

after calling setbrushstyle u can draw using a pen with the color u want... i've seen some application wich have a transparent backgroud. how can this be done?
