1. A device comprising:
- a first processor that selects a surface level for each of a plurality of rendered graphics surfaces prior to the device outputting any of the rendered graphics surfaces to a display; and
a second processor that retrieves the rendered graphics surfaces, overlays the rendered graphics surfaces onto a graphics frame in accordance with each of the selected surface levels, and outputs the graphics frame to the display.

Abstract
In general, the present disclosure describes various techniques for overlaying or combining a set of rendered graphics surfaces onto a single graphics frame. One example device includes a first processor that selects a surface level for each of a plurality of rendered graphics surfaces prior to the device outputting any of the rendered graphics surfaces to a display. The device further includes a second processor that retrieves the rendered graphics surfaces, overlays the rendered graphics surfaces onto a graphics frame in accordance with each of the selected surface levels, and outputs the graphics frame to the display.
