I'm not sure I understand your question, but the backgrounds and border
images are layered, one on top of the other. When you layer images, if
both pixels are transparent, then what is underneath will show through.
If the top one is transparent, the bottom one will show through. If the
top one is solid, then that is the pixel that is shown.
Does that answer your question?
