This theme is easily developed from OM Base theme

The Drupal 6 OM Admin's page.tpl.php looks like this:

<body class="<?php print $body_classes; ?>">
  <div class="wrapper-outer">
    <div id="container" class="wrapper">
      <?php print $breadcrumb; ?>
      <div id="container-inner" class="wrapper-inner">
        <?php print om_content_elements($mission,$tabs,$title,$messages,$help) ?>
        <?php print om_region('content', $content, 0); ?>
      </div> <!-- /#container-inner -->
    </div> <!-- /#container -->
