Also with J 1.5 there's such a thing as "overrides" in which you can go to the "html" folder of your template (or create one if there isn't one) and take the modules.php file (the actual file modules are generated from) and add your image background divs and classes to it.
What it does is allow you to hack the core module code, without actually hacking THE core module code.
Overrides: 1. In J 1.5 when a page is displayed, Joomla first looks to your template's html folder for an identically named file.
2. If it finds that file, it loads the OVERRIDE rather than the core code.
3. Core code is untouched, so you can update Joomla with patches without overwriting your hacks. You just have to copy the new patched file (if affected) and apply your same hacks as necessary.
Make sense? It took me a while to get it, but now that I understand the concept of overrides I'm totally loving it.
