Comment (by wildworks):

 The welcome panel has a black background applied to the entire box. When a
 transparent border is applied to this box, the black background is
 exposed, resulting in a black border. I don't think this is the intended
 design.

 Perhaps the black background should only be applied to the header, rather
 than the box itself. Example:
