Description Michael Desmond

For Advanced/rich SWT UI's it would be desirable to have transparent SWT 
Labels.

i.e. ORing SWT.TRANSPARENT (i just made this up) to the Label style parameter 
would make the label a transparent widget and whatever is drawn behind the 
label will show through.

As an example placing a label on a canvas with a bacground image will allow 
the background image to show through.

However the accelerator support provided by the label is still required for 
accessibility.

This bug is currently preventing the use of SWT is some of IBM Workplace 
client applications.

Thanks
