I have a similar problem, maybe thats the reason why you cant go with 
an opaque btn. I have such a btn over the area as you described. And 
this btn is set to apaque on some stacks so the user cant see the area 
under the btn and it is set to off that the btn does not work on this 
Stacks. This works perfectly on the MAc a blank area on a blank ground 
you can see nothing but on windows (builds) you see a ugly grey 
rectangle.
I m thinking now how can I solve this problem, but can I do anything, 
when it works well on the MAc but not on Win..?
Thanks for any ideas....
