How to make center template "pop out" from the background (i have an example pic)

[tort]

like this. I want to make my fixed center oriented page pop out from the background. Right now the color of my content background and the overall background is the same, which means that it looks like i have free floating boxes. Instead of the free floating boxes I would like to create a border around my content to seperate it from the background. Thanking you advance for your guidance,

Thanks. I realized that. I would like a more detailed explanation about how to go about doing it.

Look at the above image (click on the white space above) Make the same image as you like it, then save it and upload it to your gradients folder.

then, go to page background in all style options and do #?????? url(images/gradients/back.gif) repeat-y
