Well, this is something that everybody should ask about any predefined engine, when it comes to designing skins. No matter we speak about oscommerce templates here or about Zen Cart templates or even about WordPress skins, designing a themes for a predefined engine is not an easy task.
The fact is that you need to comply with particular constraints, to match them, because the engine that you dress probably has a lot of widgets, toolbars, features, etc that you will need to dress also.
Really, are osCommerce that difficult to make?
Personally I would appreciate they are. Actually if you are not a pretty good designer or programmer you will probably find it very difficult to make.
How could you start designing an osCommerce template?
I think that the best way to do it is to start with the default theme and then to adapt that one. This way you will have the constraints already respected, the theme will already be adapted for the engine and it would be easier for you to add some design parts around the already embedded tags.
An other interesting solution would be to take an open source osCommerce theme and to change that one. The Open Source license will allow you to adapt it as long as you probably keep the link back to the original designer. Then,one step at the time, try to design your own themes and templates and you will see that you will manage to come up with nice looking skins for your osCommerce, Zen Cart or CRE Loaded ecommerce websites.
