Is this Wordpress Template Edit possible??

I want to edit this "Whitespace" theme http://www.briangardner.com/themes/whitespace-wordpress-theme.htm to look like this theme http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/category/mlb/

with some color margins between the columns and to have the clean boxed look of the modules like the aol example......is this easy to do??

let me know....thanks..tony

 

have a background behind the content, when you set the margins the colors will show up. They used a gradient behind theirs.

 

how do I insert the background behind the content?....and u saying if i squeeze the margins...the color will show up behind?

 

Have something like this

<div class="container">
     <div class="right">
     </div>

     <div class="left">
     </div>
</div>

Code (markup):

.container {
background-color: #F6F6F6;
}

.left {
margin: 6px 3px 6px 6px;
}

.right{
margin: 6px 6px 6px 3px;
}

Code (markup):

but you would have to define sizes, its just a sample code so i didn't.
