You mean entirely replace the Images section with a home brew? Yeah, that would probably work, although my dim memories of the last time I made a property group suggest I still wasn't doing something quite right. Whatever I put as the name of the group was what showed up, both where its name should be and also in the URL, so I was given the choice of having a lowercase name or a title-case URL. I wasn't sure this was a problem I could fix without a layout being official. :|a

And it breaks because I have things calculated as percentages -- I ask for a percent for the outermost margin and a percent for the sidebar and I add those two together plus a 2 percent margin between content and however many sidebars in order to figure out how wide the main content should be. I subtract it all from 99 so as to get a percent that won't start knocking things down the way 100% width does.

I'm pretty sure that when it comes to margins, you can either do em/px or you can do percentages -- and not both. The default Tabula Rasa model makes its sidebars by assigning the content area transparent borders, and borders will not take percentage as a valid width (as well they shouldn't). But if you have an idea, I'm more than open to it!
