Sure, open up "header.php" and locate the following:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/style_<?php echo $theme_skin; ?>.css" type="text/css" media="screen, handheld" />

Change it to this...

<?php if(is_front_page()) { ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/style_<?php echo $theme_skin; ?>.css" type="text/css" media="screen, handheld" />
<?php } else { ?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/style_light.css" type="text/css" media="screen, handheld" />'
<?php } ?>

Please don't forget to rate the theme on your downloads page when you have a chance ;-)

Is there anywhere in the code that I can mess with the internal pages so that they are always the white skin, and allow the home page to be controlled from the wp-admin panel?

I am working on a site geared for Baby Boomers and having a black background with white font will be tiring for their eyes, but the home page in black is very classy and won't have any text there. Thanks Molitor.
