Looking for some free osCommerce stuff like stylesheets, templates etc so I can change the look of the standard install easily and cheaply. Any osCommerce guru's out there point me in the right direction ?

I'm in the middle of heavily customising one at the moment.

It doesn't seem too difficult to roll your own tbh, if you're comfortable with CSS. There are only a few colors in the default install, and a handful of images.

yeah but I'm the laziest git you've ever come across and my client doesn't even know I'm looking at this as his solution, so I dont want to put any effort in in case I dont end up getting paid.

Be warned though - stylesheet changes to oscommerce are easy enough but in regards to template changes, and changes in the layouts, etc - that is where the time is heavily spent

And being honest I have seen very few people offer decent new oscommerce templates for free

Try a contribution Simple Template System (STS) for osCommerce. It works ok for me. I am the laziest and untalented person for doing websites but this STS is really doing good to me. See my thread :

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=298808

I was comfortable enuff with CCS, my site was basically taking a non osCommerce template (free ) and built it up into osCommerce. The result is satisfying for a lazy person like me. My approach was to start the CCS from scratch to go with STS tags, coz I hated amending the CCS sheet that came with the template.
