Curt:

It was funny to see how close our choice of colour is to one another:

MilesAhead:
I'm using Apophysis7X.
Your details view looks good.
I also found I could set background generally for apps such as editors and browsers, globally using this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\Colors
in the right pane set
"Window" to the RGB value
But of course in their wisdom MS didn't extend that to explorer. Would have avoided a lot of hacked systems as I think the thing most people want to change in the Explorer background color. Bright white bites!
I tried changing some of my Explorer launching code to allow specifying a 3rd party file manager that is more configurable. Trouble is since Explorer is already in memory and designed to be cloned it's way faster off the dime than 3rd party file manager apps when you ShellExecute it. Throws all the timing off to the point it's not worth it.
Curt:
For Vista you can use Folderbg from http://www.aveapps.com/folderbg.html :
MilesAhead:
I tried those folder background apps. To get a flat color you need to use an image. One I did that looked pretty good was a paper texture from Photofiltre. But it won't put it in root directory of a drive, and it goes in and out. I haven't found one that's stable on my systems.
