All the shapes in the Background Editor are placed in order according to the
virtual depth of the display screen. When two shapes are overlapping each
other, the top shape hides the overlapping section of the lower shape.

front]/[Send to back] functions.
When multiple shapes are overlapping each other, their order can be
changed using the [Move to Front]/[Move to Back] function.
