Ok, I prefaced what I said with 'on windows XP'. Now, unless you have XP, then it might mean that things operate differently. On my machine, if I change the background for 'Window', it works. Trust me, I am not pulling it from my toes as it were.. I even made sure to connect to my Empeg, and while looking at the listing of albums etc, in the List mode. The color of the background before you connect to an Empeg is actually the background color of '3D Objects'. This is also something that I've actually tested, so I am not stating anything that might be conjecture.
