so you were able to create a template with just one back ground and button style?

i've read dales instructions before, and while very clear and concise, it still seemed a little confusing for my simple mind. so i've been making all my changes one background/button at a time, which can be very tedious.

now that i've reread this thread though, i THINK it seems clear now, but would prefer the same style as you ssabripo, with the same buttons throughout a template.
