How would one edit explorer.exe to display backgrounds win 10

Ok hello people i'm trying to is make a full 3rd person theme for win 10 i got a win 8 theme and with a lot of messing around i got some of the anime stuff to show up
Like so :

but i cant get explorer to display background witch i really want to do as im creating my own full theme but getting it to work on windows 10 is hard due to the fact explorer.exe is quite a big file and im not sure how people have patched it in the past but trying to get it to display this

example

want to be one of the first to fully theme 10 just not sure what to do to explorer.exe to get it to do it

thanks in advance elfenliedtopfan5

why are you trying to alter the executable instead of just swapping out the tempfile?

That being said, just do it through the commandline. here's an example BAT

Code:

@echo off
reg add "HKCU\control panel\desktop" /v wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d "" /f 
reg add "HKCU\control panel\desktop" /v wallpaper /t REG_SZ /d "C:\[LOCATION OF WALLPAPER HERE]" /f 
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\General" /v WallpaperStyle /f
reg add "HKCU\control panel\desktop" /v WallpaperStyle /t REG_SZ /d 2 /f
RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters 
exit

He's not talking about the desktop wallpaper. He's talking about backgrounds in the File Explorer windows.

Ah. I think you used to be able to do that in XP's explorer settings, not sure if you can still or not.

As I remember in Windows XP you need to go to the hidden file for each folder it would be a desktop.ini file which you open with notebook and make a referce to a background picture of a specific color. I did this on Win 8 but there is no clue as to what controls the background color. I did find this link that might help you:

This is from somebody else:

When I first loaded Win 8 this was driving me nuts, too.
I like to set the background color of my windows to something other than white. It is much easier on the eyes.
So I did a little digging in the registry.
The settings are actually much nicer in Win 8 than in Win 7. I'm surprised no one has written a tool for this yet.
In windows 7 the colors are located in a rather obscure registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Appearance\New Schemes\Current Settings SaveAll\Sizes\0
from there the values are not named with user friendly names. It takes some experimenting to determine that Color #5 is the window background color.
Fortunately, in Win 8 it is much simpler. The colors are stored in this key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors
and the values have nice user friendly names, so Window is the window background color and Window Text is the window text, etc.
These are string values and the color format is decimal RGB values for the color you want in RRR GGG BBB.
black = 0 0 0, white is 255 255 255, silver is 192 192 192 and what I use personally is 206 197 151.
The change does not take effect immediately. You need to restart windows first.
As always, when editing the registry directly you are on your own and should only do so if you are comfortable. I take no responsibility.
Hope this helps others,

Change Windows Background color in Windows 8

Yeah bro , I also not found any tool to change this hex values, I also do it manually , but as you said, I find the same options in windows 7 also in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors
I use windows 7 this theme http://aaron-a-arts.deviantart.com/a...ATED-317882595

I tried this hex value method in windows 10 but it does not give the desired theme. Especially the white background color in windows explorer , do not change to Grey. If you have any other method please post it in forum.
(For windows 8 I used https://skinpacks.com/adobe-blue-lin...-for-win788-1/ but it also do not work in windows 10.
I think windows should implement this feature natively for windows explorer to change its background.
