Actually, the best thing you can do really is to set the page
max-width, if you want to keep that graphic. I don't see why you would
want your page to stretch to 1600 or 2200 or bigger... sounds like it
would be too wide. I max-width all my layouts because I know people
with really wide screens tend to complain.

At the moment, what I'm doing is simply centering the banner image, so that if 
you have a browser window wider than a fullscreen 1024x768, it just expands 
to the full width with the banner image centered across the top. On the plus 
side, I avoid annoying people like myself that run on high resolution 
displays, but I really don't like the way it looks (solid background colors 
on either side of the image).


The image I'm using isn't particulary easy to repeat or stretch, either. I was 
hoping someone on the list would have some insight into how I can make my 
site banner more attractive on a large display (it's fine on anything 1024 
and below) without having to resort to a fixed width. I'm open to all sorts 
of suggestions, so suggest away!


All sorts of suggestions? ;)

If one image is not wide enough, so why restrict to just one image?
