CSS design querie

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone can give me advise on creating boxes with image borders. I'm looking to do something similar to this: http://www.gamesitetemplates.com/space-war-game-ui-template.html

Also I was wondering if anyone had advise on how to create a sort of sci-fi feel with semi translucent elements such as this: https://creativemarket.com/dannehr/163951-Orbit-SciFi-UI-Kit

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

borderimg {

    -webkit-border-image: url(border.png) 30 round; /* Safari 3.1-5 */
    -o-border-image: url(border.png) 30 round; /* Opera 11-12.1 */
    border-image: url(border.png) 30 round;
}

is this what you mean by your first question? this adds a border with a background (source: W3Schools)

to have semi transparent elements use rgba values in css background color: for example background-color: rgba(40, 30, 20, 0.5); this will give 40 red, 30 green, 20 blue and 50% transparency.
