Hi all - Drupal themes are made of rectangles - but surely some designer must have created a more fluid, non-linear site design?!?
I would like my site to have a seamless image covering the upper-left and top --- this would include my navigation devices (Text links on the left and Tabs at the top --- somewhat like this: http://shorefood.org/sites/images/design.jpg

          ---------------------------------------   
          |                                     |
          |                                     |
          |         ----------------------------|
          |         |                           |
          |         |                           |
          |- - - - -|                           |        
          |                                     |
          |                                     |

Is it possible to design a region that is not a rectangle (or combine regions utilizing a contiguous image background)?

Any specific help (or point me in the right direction) would be most appreciated !

All html elements are rectangles, which is why under the hood all layouts are rectangular in nature.

One straightfoward way to do what you want is split the image into two parts, the top horizontal piece and the part that sits at the top of the left column and use css to attach the images to appropriate elements.

many thanks, nevets - I use the css approach now
i just thought (foolishly?) that some 'crazy' designer would have fought with those ubiquitous rectangles, and 'tamed' them - somehow!
