I have been working on a theme for a bit and am trying to figure out how you change the color or image background of the details pane windows explorer. This is what i mean:

I have gotten the pane to the top with reshacker simply changing some "bottom"s to "top"s But I want some custom Backgrounds in there. Any help would be freaking sweet. Thank you

Oh and the image is of sagorpirbd's longhorn theme for Win7

I would like to find that out too. I am creating a new theme, and i want it at least translucent. Somewhere in windows style builder i've tried but it doesn't work
EDIT: I know where to edit it, i want it translucent though.
