This email originally went only to lyx-devel but I figure I better make
sure it gets to lyx-users also...

Well the short answer is yes very easily -- two lines of CSS or there
abouts -- in fact it could be a configurable option. But why?
Something I was thinking we could do in this regard is shrink the LyX logo
and fill the column under the sidebar with it. I wouldn't include it with
the topmenu though. Or at least put one shrunken splash banner -- the
blue one LyX displays not the green embossed one after the sidebar.
The trouble is that the "column" isn't really a column as in a table but I
think with a little CSS magic expanded from the div.pinmenu* definitions
we should be able to include at least one LyX logo.
The other thing I was thinking of doing was moving the LyX mascot into the
heading so it would appear on all pages. Anyway, I want to reduce the
size (#kB) of the images a bit if possible. In particular the CCP2000
logo is 16kB which is as big as the biggest LDN and in most pages is
larger than the sum of _all other_ components of the page.

Sure any number of things are possible with CSS but it also means someone
has to maintain it (assuming someone is keen enough to write all the
support in the first place). The web site has sat relatively untouched
for about 2.5 years and for the most part wasn't compliant with any
particular standard even then.
