Hello Pascal -

PS> Yep. It's also interesting how much can be done with CSS
PS> without requiring additional graphics. For example, look at
PS> www.mozilla.org while disallowing all images to load (in
PS> Firebird, you can do that by right-clicking on the Mozilla
PS> logo on the site and selecting "Block images from this
PS> server" in the  context menu, then press the "Reload"
PS> button). Even the two- colored textbox at top right stays
PS> the same, not to mention that the whole layout of the page
PS> stays the same. 

PS> When I first saw the new Mozilla homepage layout, I thought

PS> Ciao Pascal 

I would have to agree that www.mozilla.org is a very good
example for the rest of the opensource community even though
it's design is just a bit on the 'busy' side it looks good and
is obviously well thought out. :-)
