I am looking for ways to adapt the pre-defined frame styles, or new frame styles that others might have developed for specific purposes. Sideheads are one example of what I mean, and I'm hoping there might be others. > "if you can suggest a use that I haven't heard about" - how can I know > what you have heard about?
