We can use quite different framing options depending on the piece we're displaying, leaving only two things constant: the size and position of the page content block and the logo/name position. For example:
- art like the "cup of tools" from our 0.47 About can be cropped only at the bottom, rising as a "sunset" over the content block but not reaching the top, blending into background on three sides;
- art like http://12055.deviantart.com/art/Thinking-Of-Fun-115491184 could be cropped on both bottom and top, taking the entire strip between the content block and the window edge, blending into background on left and right sides;
- an even more evenly spread, unfocused piece of art like http://zeh235.deviantart.com/art/inkscape-12267182 or http://rebirthart.deviantart.com/art/One-Day-in-Farm-47515219 could even "spill" down along the edges of the page content block, filling the entire top of page as a background.
With this approach we don't need to change the color scheme of the content, but we might change the color of the background outside the content block to better blend it with the current piece. Integrating a piece into the site would requite not only cropping but, likely, opacity masking to fade out the edges, as well as probably some more disruptive changes (for example, http://rebirthart.deviantart.com/art/One-Day-in-Farm-47515219 would be nice to flip horizontally so that the Inkscape logo does not clash with the tree).
