ok thank you very much! found it.
if someone is interested:

you have to override
drawLabel (Graphics& g, Label& label)
this is how mine looks:

void OtherLookAndFeel::drawLabel (Graphics& g, Label& label)
{
    g.fillAll (label.findColour (Label::backgroundColourId));
    
    if (! label.isBeingEdited())
    {
        const float alpha = label.isEnabled() ? 1.0f : 0.5f;
        Font font (getLabelFont (label));
        font.setHeight (fontHeight);
        g.setColour (label.findColour (Label::textColourId).withMultipliedAlpha (alpha));
        g.setFont (font);
        
        Rectangle<int> textArea (label.getBorderSize().subtractedFrom (label.getLocalBounds()));
        
        g.drawFittedText (label.getText(), textArea, label.getJustificationType(),
                          jmax (1, (int) (textArea.getHeight() / font.getHeight())),
                          label.getMinimumHorizontalScale());
        
        g.setColour (Colours::transparentBlack);
    }
    else if (label.isEnabled())
    {
        g.setColour (Colours::transparentBlack);
    }
    
    g.drawRect (label.getLocalBounds());
}

and in the custom l+f:

setColour (Slider::thumbColourId, Colours::transparentBlack); //
setColour (Slider::trackColourId, Colours::transparentBlack); //
setColour (Slider::backgroundColourId, Colours::transparentBlack); //
