Appearance/Theme problem

I tend to use windows explorer to navigate to files/folders.
In previous versions of windows I have changed the background colour to a
light blue as I find the default white a bit bright and sore on the eyes
after a while.
In Vista I have changed at appearance as in previous versions but the
explorer background stays white
In windows mail the folder list (left hand side) is white but the main
window is light blue and the compose window as I write this is light blue as
it should be.
Is there a way to make the background colour global on ALL windows as
previously?

TIA
Billy

Thanks for that Andre
But it is still the same.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with explorer or it's an appearance/theme
problem?
I'm not sure if anyone else uses a coloured background and if so if it's
global to all windows?
Thanks again
Billy
