You'd still have the trouble of aligning that extra image on top and make it as big as the requested map. I'd suggest you find some image that can be used as a tileable background (the ones that you can put side by side and get a seamless larger image), create a giant polygon in a shapefile (or just use the "giant polygon" one already available in GeoServer), style it using a graphic fill with the above image, and put that on top. It will stay on top of the map and give you the desired effect no matter what the map size is and no matter what the projection is (well, you might see issues if the polygon is so big that goes outside of the valid range of the target projection, in that case make it small enough to fit your data area) Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
