==Transparency workaround==

From the comments, on http://www.trawonien.de
//Hi Gregor, interesting custom layout, but why don't you use an image background in the central layer to simulate a transparency effect with the actual background? DarTar//

Problem is, this does not work with the internet explorer.
So I use a workaround: 

%%background-image: url("../images/text_bg.png");
filter:Alpha(opacity=70);%%

Since the ie does not support alpha channel transparency in pngs, the image displays as solid medium gray. 
The filter, who on the other hand works *only* with the ie, makes that image transparent. 

So: No fiddling with image aligning, and beating Microsoft with it's own refusal to use standards... I like it.
