Hi, I'm working on the Maestro team at JPL...

I have a widget that contains and controls two other custom widgets. One
of these widgets is "hand-drawn" with rectangles, the other is a polygonal
gif image.

The parent widget initializes one instance of the rectangle child widget
and two instances of the polygonal image child widget. How can the
backgrounds for the two instances of the image widget be transparent for
overlapping purposes?

Thank you.

Not really. Widget transparency is not currently supported in the toolkit.
It turns out that this is hard to do and remain portable.
