a base image comprising at least one base image element, wherein the base image element is at least one of a base control
element, a base static element and a base status element for display on the page window; and
at least one secondary image comprising at least one secondary image element, wherein the secondary image element is at least
one of a secondary control element, a secondary static element and a secondary status element for display on the page window,
wherein the at least one secondary image completely overlays the base image and the base image element and is merged with
the base image, thereby creating the page window, and during the merger, if a base image element has a corresponding secondary
image element, the merger blanks out both the base image element and the corresponding secondary image element from the created
page window.
