Yes, but my patch allows this all to happen automatically without editing the stylesheet. Templates become plug-and-play, so to speak. Unless we start parsing the stylesheet for template tags, it would be impossible to dynamically generate IMGPATH inside the stylesheet. I personally prefer to automatically generate the IMGPATH, rather than having to edit a stylesheet, but I do see your point. At the cost of an extra setup step, placing the background image in a stylesheet allows a bit more flexibility... Does anyone else have an opinion on this?
