I admit my lacks in web design, that's why spent few hours playing w/ CSS. First looked at one really kool from cssZenGarden_, then used some of its design 'items' and whacked a nice image w/ Gimp (rotate, matrix transforms, cut / paste) to make the header you can admire above :)

Switching from old design to new one wasn't really a pain in the ass ... Editing only one ZPT template for all the public part !! admin section stayed old fashion for now ;)

Many thanks to Jkx_ for his expert tips on header image and design cosmetics :)
