How can i make my buttons invisible?

Hi I want to use my own images as buttons. In my generic theme control panel i have set the button background colour as clear and set the transparency as 0 but it has not had an effect. Am i missing something?

so what exactly is happening? What color is your background and what color are the buttons?

Background is a custom image. The buttons were the default grey buttons. I wanted to make the default buttons invisible in order to use my custom made buttons. Changing the button layout settings (background colour = clear and transparency = 0) in 'my generic theme' did not work. So i changed the button layout settings from the advanced menu on each screen. This worked for the homescreen but would not work for the other screens. So in addition to changing the settings on each individual screen, i also changed the button layout settings in 'my generic theme'. This seems to have done the trick.

Transparency is to allows the background screen to be see thru the button. Set it to 100. The clear makes the button placeholder disappear.
