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 !)

Jul 22 2009, Note : I've noticed that if you use an image "below" web content, it uses more CPU for some sites. I guess it's a Firefox bug, or rather a limitation (I also guess things will be better when Compositor is integrated). So I advise you to test if it slows things down. If you prefer performances over appearance, you'd rather display an image only for toolbars (tabbar and statusbar include). ;-)

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