Looking at the page source from the main page and a host-service-test page,
I see that the main page calls for the use of a style sheet:

<!-- Styles for the Xymon body  -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/xymon/gifs/xymonbody.css">

while the host-service-test pages do not (setting the background
statically):

<BODY BGCOLOR="green" BACKGROUND="/xymon/gifs/bkg-green.gif"
TEXT="#D8D8BF" LINK="#00FFAA" VLINK="#FFFF44">
