FIXED!

I edited $XYMONHOME/web/hostsvc_header as follows:

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

<!-- The favicon image -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="&BBSKIN/favicon-&BBBACKGROUND.ico">
</HEAD>

<BODY class="&BBBACKGROUND">

<BODY BGCOLOR="&BBBACKGROUND" BACKGROUND="&BBSKIN/bkg-&BBBACKGROUND.gif"
TEXT="#D8D8BF" LINK="#00FFAA" VLINK="#FFFF44">

(added what's in blue, and deleted what's in red)
