Atle,
The way I create my markers is exactly the same. The only thing I
didn't know is that I can create transparent icons. Do you have any idea on
which editor can create transparent icons ? Or is it possible to create them
using normal windows picture manager ??
Ok, then the case of confusion was not OpenLayers at all ;)
Well, i'm not using windows, but i have a feeling that the windows picture
manager won't do the job.
Try using for example paint .net, gimp or some other "advanced" graphics
editor. I guess google knows a lot, i don't ;)
good luck!

Well, not that I am familiar with markers, but according to:
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.9.1/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Marker-js.html
you can use custom ghraphics for your markers as well:
var size = new OpenLayers.Size(10,17);
var offset = new OpenLayers.Pixel(-(size.w/2), -size.h);
var icon = new
OpenLayers.Icon('http://boston.openguides.org/markers/AQUA.png',size,offset
<http://boston.openguides.org/markers/AQUA.png%27,size,offset> );
markers.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(new
OpenLayers.LonLat(0,0),icon));
markers.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(new
OpenLayers.LonLat(0,0),icon.clone()));
Note that if you pass an icon into the Marker constructor, it
will take that icon and use it. This means that you should not share icons
between markers -- you use them once, but you should clone() for any additional
markers using that same icon.
So, if you make your marker transparent using your favourite
graphics editor you should be all set.

Can we make transparent markers ? This
is really important for me as the markers hiding the geometry underneath them
and we don't want that to happen.
Are you using Markers or Vectors ?
I use vectors, and then I am able to use an
externalGraphic for point style. This can be a .png file, with all the
transparency needed..

Any help is very much appreciated.
