Needs installed:  BTS v1 (basic template system) + "patch a", I don't know if it can be done easy without it.

Then edit catalog/templates/main_page.tpl.php
[quote]change:
[b]<body >[/b]
to:
[b]<body >
<div id="siteBorder">[/b]

and change (at the end of the file offc.):
[b]</body>[/b]
to:
[b]</div>
</body>[/b][/quote]

and edit catalog/stylesheet.css :
[quote]add (where ever you like):
/* added styles PM*/
[b]body {text-align: center;}
div.siteBorder {margin: 10px auto; width: 790px;}[/b]
/* end new added styles PM*/[/quote]
You can skip the /* comment */ ofcourse
Both "text-align: center" and "margin: auto" are essential to center both in IE and Mozilla/Netscape!

usefull to someone? I really hope so!
