Is it possible to add a frame to and change background colour on main page only.
or even to add an extra sidebox in the middle of main page with the text transferred to it.

I hope you understand what I want!!

Better to post in the Future Zen support thread.

You can have any content you want in the center column of your home page by editing define_main_page.php in admin > Tools > Define Pages Editor.

Also, you can apply page-wide styling (including hiding desired elements) for the home page only by putting the code in a file named index_home.css and saving it in /includes/templates/your_template/css/ (same place as your main stylesheet).

Where is that?

Have looked at that but how can I install a frame and bg colour change?

Sorry but coding is not my strong point, pushing buttons and drop downs are about it.

The support thread is a few pages down, because people don't need to ask about it very often. Free Template "Future Zen"

By "frame" do you just mean a border around certain text, and located in a certain place? You can do that by entering the text you want in define_main_page.php with <div id="myNewBox"> before it and </div> after it.
THen in your /includes/templates/your_template/css/stylesheet.css, add at the bottom

#myNewBox {
    color: #001122;
    background-color: #ccbbaa;
    padding: 1em;
    margin: 3em;
    border: 2px solid #ff6699;
    }

adjusting numbers to your taste.

There is a lot more that you can do, but this will give you a start.
