Overlapping Tiles

...like bkgarbageman's TerraCotta dock...only...for tiles.

from WinCustomize Forums
Anyone know how to make the tiles overlap the front of the icon?  I'm working on some zoom tiles and, well, the concept is that the icons are supposed to look like they're sitting in their respective trays (it literally is a tray).  I've tried a couple of guesses, to the coding, on my own and can't seem to find what it is. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The only way to have image in front of icons is to use a foreground image (see foreground example dock), however this will not work with tiles as it will apply the image across all tiles not to each tile.

Aw...that's what I was afraid of. Thanks, Cavan!

But you can still use a foreground image...take a look at what I did for this dock XMas Tiles I used a snow flake pattern as the foreground and it worked well. The foreground use on tiles is very limited though, as Cavan pointed out.
