Definitely not. Why would they let web devs render outside of the browser window? That's a recipe for disaster.

There needs to be some middle ground. I'd trade off just being able to set just the background color and font and keep these native-like features

I think that you can compose arbitrary images that way using an image-like font (using various Unicode chars and assigning to each a small tile of the full image)

Actually I am now curious of how much detail/size/colours/animations you can fit in a single letter.

The following works for me in Chrome, and doesn't prevent the menu from going outside of the viewport:

    select, option {
        background: red;
        font-family: 'comic sans ms';
    }

If that's all your changing, then why can't you make do with the system default?
