I am trying to get a custom shape transparent window on my panel! (I want a blinking heart when the envgen triggers). So I need to have the solder mask as well as the copper removed for my image. So far I have

- image on solder mask (not in the screenshot, but it works)
- inverted image on F.Cu
- copper keepout area covering the whole image area (I don’t think I need that)

But the inverted image on F.Cu gets a clearance on the copper, which I can not get rid of! In the local clearance and settings for it everything is zero. I tried adding a pad and connecting the footprint/component to ground in the schematics.  
Any ideas what I need to do here?
