Hi,

I think you understood well the situation.
This new design allow use of any picture as the background and it is something that I would like to keep, if it is possible.
I don't know much about web programming, but I did it by comparing the differents sections with the same file in KDE 4.10.

Would it be possible for you to provide the code for the header part, with a headerCenter div?

If it is not possible at all, the solution that I would personally prefer is to drop that rounded ribbon, just as in the first picture proposed in this post.
I also prefer brighter color in large areas such as the toned-down Crystal-fire picture of the second proposal. It also looks more like classic 3.5.10 KDE, but it looses the similarity with the new K menu side picture and the splash.

If this design end up being choosen, I a willing to modify the other similar pages in TDE. As of now, I think that these are: Konqueror, TDE Control Center, Akregator and Help.

Thank you!
