Makes About:Blank display an image of your choice. Excellent way to implement a new UI feature for your favorite web browser.
* Thanks to XxXAndrewXxX's About:Blank Blue Firefox, upon which this style is loosely based

- Appears as background of Mr Tech's Local Install - My Config
- Appears as background of an opened "Scanned Page" from the Update Notifier extension
- Appears while loading a page's source code
- Appears when loading your bookmarks sidebar
- (NEW) Will NOT appear as the background image when composing or replying to an email in Google's Gmail [FIX]
- Clean and very appropriate default image, included with style (Firefox logo - shadowed)

Just tried this and it works perfectly! Very simple to use, and should be even for a person who isn't very good with computers. Thanks!
Edit: This has been working great, but the logo/image shows up in places I do not want it to show up, such as in the compose mail space of Gmail. Any way to disable this in such areas? Thanks.
Update (May 29th, 2008): Thank you very much for updating the style so that the logo no longer shows in Gmail's compose message box! I really appreciate the update =)
