What about drawing a translucent white rectangle over the graphic?
I wanted to say that Hans already implemented some code to add transparency (or even transparent masks) to bitmap images, but I'm still not sure how to use that code. However, drawing a transparent white rectangle over the bitmap graphic would definitely be the easiest approach if you don't need to see though the image. Mojca
