Have you tried using CSS?

Have you tried using CSS?

On this project? Nope. But I've used it before in some of my projects in PHP. Are you referring to Cascading Style Sheet?

Yes. Can't guarantee that it will work but there transparent settings available. HTH.

Is there any solution on how to handle this thing?

This is a webproject then?
You should be able to use CSS to set the background of the label as transparent, set the z-index to that of a "higher" index then the image then use the various placement features to move it over the image.

I recomend a seperate CSS file for this stuff, and to be sure to check the page source(as displayed in browser) to make sure the item does not have conflicting property values.
An in-line style property on an element will override other CSS properties for an item.

Nope this is just a simple window form. Here's my screenshot:



The Manage Course here is my label and the cyan gradient on its back is the image.

Ah!
Hmm, I can't seem to get it to work either.
But I did notice that a label can have a picture as a background, that draws the text over the top of it.

There is also this solution:
