Frontpage for category, doesn't work well [Fixed]

I'm using Kindergarten as the template for a category. I want the lovely frontpage graphics to be the 'frontpage' of this category, however when I assign it as a menu link it appears differently than when I use it as the true frontpage. I've added the 5 blank DIV's with their respective IDs which run the center module on the demo. The background has some features of the category view of the template though - is there a way to replicate the frontpage view of the template when the area I want to use it for isn't a true Joomla frontpage?

When on front page template inserts "sparky_home" class to body tab on other pages it's sparky_inner.
If you open index.php of template you will find this :

<body<?php if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) { echo ' class="sparky_home"'; }else{ echo ' class="sparky_inner"'; } ?>>

so you could just replace sparky_inner with sparky_home for else block to force it always behave like that.

Thanks Ivan, that helped a lot.

For others who may need this solution, I wanted the template to display as it would for a front page except I was using a single article layout menu item. In the template's index.php file I replaced:

with and if/else:

where $currentMenuId is the Itemid you see in the URL when you're on the page you want to template.
