nowplaying>music ???

Is there anyway to get the XLobby id variable nowplaying>music to have a totally blank background if there is no music playing?

I'm using the basic simplicity skin and it seems that there is an underlying image for nowplaying>music. Whenever this is put in the id variable field you get a raised translucent white square like image (in the images section it is actually xresource-cover-art-missing.png but there doesn't seem to be a direct link to this one as the image doesnt change if you click elsewhere).

I'd like no image so that if there is noting playing, there is nothing shown at all and another object can be shown underneath.

Any suggestions gratefully received - I've be trying everything and can't find a way. :?

what happens if you make an image that is transparent pixels? Use this for coverart, where no art is available. OR does that not work?
