      There is currently no documentation of how to create your own BG overlay and make it look good.

      What is a BG overlay?
      Those things at the bottom of The Labyrinth?

      No. It is the cascading background that scrolls with Ferazel's movement.

      but...if I wanted to use one from one of Ben's levels...it would work, correct?

      Yes, Ben's will work. Because cascades move in three different speeds (notice how MASCOT splits the BG cascade into three strips? Those strips move differently to give an illusion of distance), the creator of the cascades has to account for that. So far, only Ben knows how to do that well--or someone hired by Ben, perhaps--and at this point, he hasn't shared his secrets.
