    I would like to change the color of the normal white background in Vista to something quite like this: http://cairoshell.com/downloadsmain/files/CairoConceptExplorer.jpg I think (although I am open to suggestions on this from someone more informed and experienced than I) it would be nice to use that same gray color but add slanted lines from the top left to bottom right (\\\\\) to break up the color and what appears in the window as well as make it easier on the eyes. I would like to use this color for the main window that is always visible and used in every folder as well as the "Navigation", "Details" and "Preview" panes. Again, if someone suggests to use a different shade of the color for those areas, I would like to trust a professionals opinion rather than my own. I have researched how to do this time and again online. Many options have come up but nothing has worked and when it did (IESHWIZ.exe from win98 era) the folder was screwed up in more ways than one! I do hope that my being rather clueless in the all areas that this forum focuses on! I've gathered info from random places on this site for awhile. This is my second post, the first was just moments ago on an issue with editing the Vista Start Menu- should be right next to or near this post. I just want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read this-- respond or not- have the answer or have to be the one who makes me cry and says it can't be done! (Please, don't tell me that!) Alright, have a good one guys! Thanks! :)
