    Starting with sample 1

    Basicly they took a larger "Canvas" size and added the banner as a Top layer.

    After doing that, they added the top bar, which is the black bar.
    Then adding the White bar.

    In doing so with the white bar, they selected the white area, and then using the gradient tool. Changing the specs from white to grey, they clicked and dragged from top to bottom. Giving you the fade within the selected area.

    After that, they did the same thing with the bottom area, but selected it as a black background.
    ----------

    If you pull up the HTML document. You can find the CSS used.

    http://www.freelayouts.com/preview/6618/default.css

    Within the CSS, shows you how they placed their background

    Code:
    body {
    	margin: 75px 0 0 0;
    	padding: 0;
    	background: #FFFFFF url(images/img01.jpg) repeat-x left top;
    	text-align: justify;
    	font: 15px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    	color: #666666;
    }


    So in the actual html document. As soon as the placed the <body> tag. It imports from the CSS document

    as So

    Code:
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>CityLights by Free Css Templates</title>
    <meta name="keywords" content="" />
    <meta name="description" content="" />
    <link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    </head>
    <body>
    <!-- start header -->
    But how you want it to look will depend on what you are placing there...
