When it comes to matters visual I'm the least creative kid on the block. My eyes glaze and my brain goes into hibernate mode if I have to do more than a couple of clicks. I remove the covers from any 'books' created by conversion with Modify, they only have value to me within calibre (Book Details).
I thought having textured borders might make my use of the Generate Cover PI less mechanical and produce a more interesting result - I get bored with them

Interesting... so let me see if I got that right. You want a texture or some texture options for the background (the black part) of your cover. Not the picture itself, right?
And it can't be too much because you're using the background also for title and author, right?
You want to combine the new texture and the picture by yourself? Because I don't think you can do this with the GUI Plugin...or we have to see if kiwidude can change that.
Your pictures always having the same size?
You have it in high quality? It would be good to have it in the size you use it, so I can better see what I can come up with.
I'm excited already!
