Frame and Base Panels Library

A collection of base panel types and frame components for creating consistent interface layouts within the Lilia framework.

---

Overview

The frame and base panel library provides foundational panel components that serve as building blocks for more complex interfaces. These panels offer specialized backgrounds, transparency effects, and base functionality that can be extended or used directly to create consistent visual experiences throughout the Lilia framework.
