I remember in the late 90s building content boxes with 3x3 tables, outer cells containing image slices for the border, drop shadow and rounded corners. Macromedia Fireworks had brilliant tools for both creating these sort of graphics, but also slicing them up for use in tables. I still miss Fireworks, Adobe killed it though as they perceived that it competed with Photoshop when it really didn’t. It’s the spiritual precursor to all ui/ux design tools like Figma and Sketch.
