Main Explorer Folder Background Color

[rasselas]

Hello, I edited the value below in WSB

Folder background Colour:
Explorer & Shell - Explorer - Items View - Itemsview - FillColor:Color

and it only partially works... it changes the color for that frame in the Save-As dialogs (ie, the frame to the right of the tree-view), but NOT in the main folder views [ie, when opening a folder] (it still remains aero-white).

Does anybody have any suggestions as to conflicts, or what other value might need to be changed? I don't think there should be any conflicts as I am building a theme based off of aero (in the WSB startup options)... and have made almost no other changes (and certainly not TO aero-white). Hope to hear some helpful replies

maybe in font & system metrics>window:color

Thanks faizalotai for the reply, but actually the solution is a little sillier than that.

In fact, the colors of the main explorer folder background was changing, but I was failing to see that change, as I was simply minimizing/restoring existing windows checking for that change... when it was actually necessary to open a new explorer/folder window to see those changes. That behavior, however, is not altogether the norm, as I was able to change (and see the changes) the color of the "Personalization" window without refreshing or opening a new "personalization" window at all.

So thanks for your help again, and for contributing to this useful website in general.
