Question

i have noticed that all TWiki sites have a white background (not the top and bottom color but the centre of the page) is it possible to change this without applying a skin ie i wan to change my web not the overall site.....

Answer

Set a different bgcolor in the body tag of the templates or skins, e.g. in view.tmpl set:

<body bgcolor="#cccccc">

to define a light gray. See other StandardColors.

Or, better, in view.tmpl set:

<body bgcolor="%WEBBGCOLOR%">

So that you can put in the site prefs and each web prefs declarations such as: 

      * Set WEBBGCOLOR = #f4d2e7

Or, use CSS: In view.tmpl, put a 

<style type="text/css">%CSS%</style>
declaration in the <head> section, so that you can define in web prefs something like: 
      * Set CSS = body {background:#f4d2e7}
