    You would need a custom theme like this https://www.sevenforums.com/themes-st...x86-final.html and you will need to do 1 of these 2 ways of Enabling custom themes for it to work.

    he installed a third party theme that changed the background once installed, bongo im sure can tell you how to change the background , but i can only direct you to a theme
    mr grim makes really nice dark themes. find some here
    Virtual Customs

    edit, you beat me again jerry, well done.
    i would go with jerrys link for now, as you need to sign up at virtual customs and have at least 10 approved posts before you can download a theme... but well worth it

    Im going with the "enabling custom themes" the only thing is, is that it seems pretty old 2009....

    Well the thing is ive pretty much customized my entire computer completely, mouse, icons, start button, more and with these themes they customize everything that i already did such as the icons. All i want is to be able to customize just windows explorer BG.
