How can I set the pcmanfm background color, in what configuration file and using what syntax? Is this information published anywhere on the web? I found an example for changing the Side Pane background color
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1566335, but it does not seem to work for me.

if theyre not already installed you should have the lxappearance and obconf packages, that will allow you to change themes, window borders colours, icons etc

I believe you can use gtk themes for that purpose.

i suppose you want to change the background color of the file managers window, without actually changing the whole theme?
i have a weird yellow background for my file manager when i open it with root privileges:
that what you want?
it's a matter of gtk; you can add a few lines to your ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine
Code: Select all
style "mingstil"
{
base[NORMAL] = "#FCAF3E"
base[ACTIVE] = "#FCAF3E"
}
# widget_class "*" style "default"
class "GtkWidget" style "mingstil"
#class "FmMainWin.*.FmTabPage" style "mingstil"
#class "*Entry*" style "mingstil"
'mingstil' is a totally meaningless word i made up (a virtual beer if someone realizes what it means;-)).
some options are commented out, you can play around with that.
