1 Open the file stylesheet.css. Find the section right at the start:

 

BODY {

background: #ffffff;

color: #000000;

margin: 0px;

}

 

background defines the page background colour.

 

As far as the image is concerned, the simplest thing to do is create your image and name the file oscommerce.gif. Place the image in Catalog/Images.

 

At the end of the day the best thing to do is read what documentation there is and then install a dummy store on your computer and play around. I only really found out what each line in the stylesheet.css file did by messing around with colours etc.

 

Hope this helps. Get back to me if it you can solve it.
