Hi, has anyone used a background image to comprise the entire design of the site? I'm thinking of creating a theme where all areas are transparent and laid out
with text only. All of the design is a background image that can be easily changed out. Obviously certain areas willl need to be large to allow for more or less content.
Any thoughts or advice on this is greatly appreciated. Please make it easy for me as I'm brand new to Drupal. THANKS!

Not really how the web works
The problem with this approach is that it doesn't scale. You are restricting how much text you can show, in each area. Think about the different screen resolutions people will view your site in, think about the time to download this one large image.
It's not how it should be done, that's not saying you shouldn't.
Websites need to be fluid so they scale to the resolution the clients browsers are viewing it on. As an extreme example think about mobile browsers like opera and safari on the iPhone - your fixed sized website would look really bad on these kind of devices.
Just my two pence worth.
