Lots of work there.

First in catalog/stylesheet.css at the top see:

BODY {
 background: #ffffff;
 color: #000000;
 margin: 0px;

Remove the margin code

change the background:# to what you want it to be. example for black:

BODY {
 background: #000000;
 color: #000000;

Then on catalog/index.php(and every other file you want this on find:

<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0">
<!-- header //-->
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header.php'); ?>
<!-- header_eof //-->

<!-- body //-->
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" >

change in the first line:

leftmargin and rightmargin to the number of pixels you want the page from the edges on each side.example:

<body marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="40" rightmargin="40">

then in the table make the background color for the center part.

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" bgcolor="#ffffff">

this has to be done to every page you want to look like this

actually, i believe, you only have to modify two files > the header.php and the footer.php (from the includes folder) - simple edits too - maybe (and that's a big "MAYBE") a simply edit to the stylesheet too...

I think you would be right because the guy who posted above you, that link he gave to that contribution is only the header and footer files to do what I'm after.

Thanks guys :)

in your stylesheet look for

BODY {

background: #f8f8f9;

f8f8f9 is the color grey of the boxes that comes with oscommerce. If that isn't the color grey you want replace that code with the grey you would like to use.
