This style allows transparent toolbars, tabs bar & status bar in order to have an image in background.

Answers:
@Totz: it is written in code. Wallpaper uses RAM resources (5 Mo max), but if you compress image, it can be less.
@Diago: great if it has inspired you. Don't feel obliged to mention me in your styles. You have done here. Congrats for your styles. :-)
@Mavromatis: I think it has always worked with beta. Maybe it's just wallpaper which wasn't accessible (that's why you have to use your own image !)

off-topic:
- userstyles.org does not accept Jpeg images for screenshots.

I just dumped Personas for this. It's very awesome to use and is more flexible with tiled background, because you don't need to code a header or a footer, but instead use a single image. *****

Good idea but doesn't seem to be working on FF3b5 ***

Yay thx!, Great one Pirlouy. I've adjusted Aqua Transparency a bit to work in 3.0b4 too *****

I love this, it brings a whole new level to FF imo, beautiful =)

But... It doubles the memory usage of FF =o any way round this? ****
