Front page uses different container class and welcome.tpl for the layout. You can make the change in home.tpl - you need to get rid of the code that tells the cart when home page is loaded.

{if $main ne "catalog" || $current_category.category ne ""}

Also need to modify welcome.tpl for the new layout. If you don't feel like doing it yourself contact me at the email in my signature with details.
