Hi Alexi,
There are two (or more!) ways to go about this. One is to create a
cell in a notebook that has the form that you want. Then use the
Cell>Show Expression menu command to get the actual Cell expression
for that cell. Copy that and use that in the DockedCells list.
An alternative way to go about this programatically is the following.
This involves some trickier stuff, but perhaps you can model based on
this. Here it is for the example that you tried:
rose = Import["ExampleData/rose.gif"];
SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[],
DockedCells -> {
FEPrivate`FrontEndResource["FEExpressions",
"SlideshowToolbar"],
First[
ToBoxes[
TextCell[rose, "Section", TextAlignment -> Center]
]
]}]
This sort of programming approach is not widely known, but I discuss
some of it in the article "Every Document is an Expression: The Reach
of Mathematica 6"
on this page,

Best regards,
David
