Bug Description
Have the ability to create a shape. I imagine that this would be a square shape initially, but with the options mentioned it could work as anything.
Then there could be a selection tool for changing the color gradient, OR uploading a png image to fill the 'shape space'.
Huge bonus points for including a few vector shapes, like a circle/star/etc.. actually if people could define and browse the vectors somehow that would be sweet.
Then transparent widgets could be plugged into this space to match the design.
These recent recommendations are to try to find a setup that is wallpaper agnostic .. right now if I change my wallpaper, it means going through and resetting a bunch of colors to make sure the contrast is right. With squares - I could make a big box, or a small box.. and not have to worry about what the widget designer did as much as far as background options.

I would probably either set the shape to a large sized area with a black or whiteish background with a bit of opacity set to let the wallpaper through
This would be better than 4 or 5 widgets in an area with their own backgrounds each and having to fix contrasts on wallpaper changes as I mentioned.
