We need a simple chooser with preview for the header images. The previews can be quite small. As there may be the option to choose another, much higher image for the start page this needs to be separated out.

So create two instances for the chooser: Front page image and image for the rest of the page. If the user does not want these two to be different, maybe we include a checkbox to set the two identical by default: If you check the box, the second image-chooser is activated.
Am not totally sure which should be default. One image and image height for all header images is a default behaviour, but having the bigger one for the front page more reflects joergsarts Design.

Will provide a little mockup (not for beauty, but for clarification)

This kind of theme setting won't make it in, so we will solve this with nicely commented CSS.

This is supposed to sit right at the top of the CSS file. Unused but available pictures are outcommented, so they can be activated by just removing the comments. Should be fairly easy for someone not afraid of a CSS file.

eigentor: how about making this a theme setting now that we know that Busy won't make it into core?

Yes, we could do this by theme setting now. Maybe even better is to use noggin module http://drupal.org/project/noggin

To enable Noggin to work with Busy out of the box we should rename #header to #header-wrapper and #header-bottom to #header.
And we should document this on the project page ("if you'd like to change the background picture ...").

Noggin provides an easy way to change the background image of the header. We need to tweak page.tpl.php a little to make busy work with noggin.
