I tried something similar, I changed a title graphic with a method:

Method "Title":
[··· Table with the titlegraphic ···]
 <td colspan="1"><img src="gfx/<dtml-var thema>.gif" width="221" height="37"></td>
[···]

On my pages I insert the title-table with:

[···]
  <!--#call "REQUEST.set('thema','Links')"-->
  <dtml-var Titel> 
[···]

I think you can adapt this.

To the Gurus: How has the call to look?

I tried a bit but I´m too new to dtml and Zope.
