The background section of the theme.xml can use several tag to control
the layout of your buttons.
buttonarea - Controls the physical area for the buttons. (Required)
buttonspread - Controls whether myth spreads out the buttons to use
all of the available space. (Optional, defaults to yes)
buttoncenter - Controls whether or not buttons are centered.
(Optional, defaults to yes)
columns - Controls the maximum number of columns. (Optional)
image - The background image to use (overrides the one in the qtlook file)
visiblerowlimit - Controls the number of rows that can be on screen at once.
So... In order to position a series of buttons over a background
image so that they appear to be part of it you would need something
like:
<background style="normal">
<image>button_background.jpg</image>
<buttonspread>no</buttonspread>
<buttoncenter>no</buttoncenter>
<buttonarea>27,117,1200,600</buttonarea>
<visiblerowlimit>6</visiblerowlimit>
<columns>1</columns>
</background>
