Hi, I'm trying to find a generic or "dummy" UI element which isn't tied to any specific parameter/button such as volume fader, mute button, etc. Essentially an element which can be placed and scaled anywhere in a TCP, MCP, transport or Master Track. I couldn't locate anything in the list:

Everything in the list appears to be tied to some parameter. The reason I want a generic one is because I'm trying to place my TCP volume and pan text next to one another, but have a gap between their text. In that gap, I wish to have a background image which connects the volume and pan background images seamlessly. I have a background image for the volume text and another for the pan text:
(tcp_vol_label.png and tcp_pan_label.png, respectively.)
Here they are in use:

The problem I have is that the co-ordinates for the text and its respective background seem to be tied together. So in the rtconfig.txt, "set tcp.volume.label" defines the co-ordinate for both the volume text as well as its background image (tcp_vol_label.png). Are these always tied together or can their co-ordinates be unlinked?
I want to create the illusion of the volume and pan background images being a single image by using a third image sandwiched in-between their respective backgrounds, like so:
[tcp_vol_label.png] [dummy_image.png] [tcp_pan_label.png]
If a generic/dummy image isn't possible, is there a WALTER trick to create the desired gap between the vol & pan text, but make their respective background images placed next to one another like so?:
[tcp_vol_label.png][tcp_pan_label.png] <-- images are sandwiched together with no gap but their vol and pan text would have a ~10px gap
Thanks!
