it's possible to do that in other places as well. For instance putting an image in the search box was possible back when the wiki actually had search boxes. The real question isn't so much whether it can be done as whether it should. My personal take on this is that past a certain point it kinda just becomes clutter or unecessarily distracting, although I admit it does look pretty nice, and doing something to those boxes on the side could be a plus.

The thing I'm worrying about, personally, is the chat background (nobody uses it right now, but I still want it to actually be worth using.. )
