expandable footer-area

Yeah, this would be good. The footer is already expandable but the bottom aligned background image and white background prevent the footer from appearing 'expanded'. Changing #footer in style.css will fix this.

On pixture/style.css it reads:

#footer {
	border: none;
	padding: 10px;
	background: #ffffff url("images/bg-footer.png") repeat-x bottom left;
	text-align: center;
	font-size: 11px;
	color: #ffffff;
}

Change that to:

#footer {
	border: none;
	padding: 10px;
	background: #ff6bfe url("images/bg-footer.png") repeat-x top left;
	text-align: center;
	font-size: 11px;
	color: #ffffff;
}

And it's fixed...sort of. The gradient image (bg-footer.png) doesn't seamlessly match the color. A line can be seen.

The full fix would be to also change pixture/color/color.inc line 53 from

'gradient' => array(0, 0, 800, 94),

to:

'gradient' => array(0, 0, 800, 88),

Header gradients will look different by 6px, sort of noticeable, makes the headers appear brighter, but... I don't see another way to accomplish this and still have the gradient image in the footer match without a seam.
