Ok, please forget all the questions I asked.
I did figure it out, and the gif with alpha or transparency works.

The second question about the address field, the radius was too small but by enlarging it, was able to query the shops.

thanks!
awesome add-on!

PS.
replying gave me an invalid token though...
I know it isn't your problem but this site so forgive me I replied as posting a question.
