The background colour is changeable from the "Edit Colours/Fonts" area - note the cute scissors border on the side widget thingy. So cute!

ps* the inner background purple colour is #A186BE - for all those of you who want widgets to blend in seamlessly.

I think pictures of old fashion can be really amusing, so saying that, here's a design that's quite funky and uses some old pics of collar styles. Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's very "me" (meaning you'd be hard-pressed to find a template like this one). Perhaps I should do more "classic-ish" templates, but that's not the way my mind works most of the time.
