You can't do this with blendLevel -- this property affects the stack and
thus everything displayed in it.

The only way you can do selective masking like you describe is to create a
PNG the size of your stack to use as a windowShape that has opaque regions
where your controls will be, and transparency everywhere else.  If the
positions of your controls will change at all, you will need to have
multiple PNGs and reset the windowShape every time the positions of your
controls change.
