However, you can easily use this example to change the background color of the active Explorer window as a solution even on earlier versions of Microsoft's Windows operating systems. The nice thing is that it's the background color of the active Explorer window, whether it's a native Windows desktop machine, on the go on the tablet, Surface Pro / Go, or even a business server operating system in the office.

I only ever use Details view--but I like the colour scheme ( in Windows) of "Fiesta" and that fills most of the top part of each window--hardly use the tree view--prefer a "drive list". Perhaps I really need to change the background colour of the active pane? That way I wouldn't miss whjich pane is the active one--or alternatively, change the colour of the background of the NON-active windows?? Whichever is easiest. - see attached screenshot which may explain my problem in spotting the active pane.. Thanks for your interest.?
