Where do I start on change the bg color?

Hi,

I'm new to php and xcart.

I wanted to give my cart a total makeover.

First question.

I want to make a site where it has background color then the content of the website is centered.

ex: http://www.smartchoicemusic.com/store/home.php

Where do I starte on doing that?

I'm more used to dreamweaver, is there a way I can design the whole layout of the site, and copy and paste to somewhere?[/img]

Well as you will find in many posts, x-cart is highly customizable, but can cause a lot of sleepless nights. To answer your short question about the background color, you can edit the skin1.css file to change the body property.

Code:

BODY { 

        MARGIN-TOP: 0 px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0 px; MARGIN-LEFT: 0 px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0 px; 

        BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FFFFFF;

}

Is what is in mine, the background-color controls the color. You should read up on css before making sweeping changes. You cant really paste code into xcart and have it work, there is a lot of smarty and java thrown in that will stop your cart from working if you just copied it over from dreamweaver.
