How to create a shell out of the screen?

In a RAP application (made from a primary shell in full size),
I would like create another shell and give it an absolute position relative to the content of its parent.

Why?
To create information panels overlays to existing content of a page.
Example: an information over a background image as a banner.

Easy => Use a Composite (set its background-image)...

But: this panel should not completely to be included in the background image.
Only a part of this image, the rest would be beside of.../in the "empty space".
When you scroll the screen, this panel (shell) does not remain "stuck" in the display area.

goal:
Improve the presentation of information and obtain a more beautiful layout.
