Of course that's all likely to lead you to getting into trouble with search engines as trying to manipulate them. It's also the only reason I can think for why someone would want to make links transparent, which is why I didn't offer a solution above.

I'ts for buttons so there's no need for them having any border color at all. And why having links the same color as the background would put me in to trouble with the search engin??
First the border is different from the link. Based on you last post I assume the links are images. If that's the case and you want to get rid of the border then in your css use
img {border:0} or img {border:none}
That will turn off every border on every image so if you do want borders on some images you'll need to turn them back on for those images.
As for the links and search engines. Links are very important when it comes to where a search engine decides to rank a page. Some people have sites they try to interlink a lot with other sites that they either own or know people who own them or are owned by clients.
Say you take 100 sites and start linking them all together. The idea is that all the sites end up with a lot of links from the other sites that would hopefully help improve where it ranks in a search engine.
But it's kind of ugly to have a lot of useless links on your pages that serve no useful purpose to people reading the page. So some site owners try to hide the links by making them the same color as the background or making them very small or something else to essentially make them invisible.
Search engines would still see the link, but the people visiting the page won't see it. Search engines don't like that. They want you to send them the same content that a person would see on your site. They would see that as an attempt to manipulate their algorithm which could then get you in trouble and posiibly get your site banned.
In your original post that's what I thought you might be doing since I took link to mean a text link. I see now you were asking something else. My bad.
Anyway I hope the css above helps with the border problem.
