The easiest way is to serve CentOS directory listing via Apache server 
which does this fancy looking out of the box. All settings for it is 
done by CentOS team and reside in the mirror tree.

Personally I use nginx to serve static files and while running Apache 
for other needs just proxying directory listing for couple of mirrors.
