I'd like to change the darker gray areas above and below the gallery frame to a background image used on the rest of my site, like what this image describes:
(Gallery image removed 18. march 2008 to avoid false object-view hits after resolving the issue.)

So which file do I edit, which tags do I use?

Ok, I've come a long way in customizing the gallery for my website, but I'm not quite there yet.
What's left are just small things, but I just can't seem to find out how to fix them.
You may take a look at (Gallery link removed 18. march 2008 to avoid false object-view hits after resolving the issue.)
The crumb bar, upper left and right you may notice that the word "Gallery" sticks out a little on the left side, and so does the buttons/links on the right side, and the "Gallery 2" button at the bottom left.
I'd like to bring these into alignment with the main dark gray window.

Also, the translation from english to norwegian is not fully complete. It says "This is the main page of your Gallery" where it should say "Dette er hovedsiden i galleriet ditt", as well as the word "Gallery" in the breadcrum and in the main window, which should be "Galleri" in norwegian.

Any help on these remaining points please?

Edit theme.css

#gsNavBar div {
font-weight:bold;
margin-left:20px;
margin-right: 20px;
}

Add the bold.

@ button: Similar code; http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:How_to_Remove_Unpossible_MP3_Link
@ translations: Some text is user input text. See: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Quick_Start_Guide#Configure_the_Root_Album
or if you want to change for different languages: http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:multilang

I would pick a different color pack, as if you change the just the background color then some other eliments would have to change as well, like the font color.
Try the FF browser and dev tool with firebug and if you get stuck post a url.
Perhaps in a new thread as I think this one is solved for the original poster.
