Question：
Hello to my favorite Windows Forum,
I have just installed the latest Windows Live Photo Gallery version 2009 (Build 14.0.8064.206). I'm not writing to complain but I must tell you I had to install this because last years would crash and tell me my Valued picture files were missing or corrupt. Hopefully this latest release doesn't have that problem anymore. It appears to be the same except for some minor tweaks in the Picture Viewer. What I would like is to change the background to black like it used to be instead of the white one I have now. I loved the way my pictures looked against that background. Is there any way I can change this?
Thanks,
canoetoday

Answer 2： Hi canoetoday,
Unfortunately the only way to change the background color in Windows Live Photo Gallery is to change the color scheme for all windows that you open. I have provided steps for doing so below. This is assuming that you are running Windows Vista.
- Right-click your desktop and select Personalize
- Click Windows Color and Appearance
- Click the Advanced button
- In the drop down menu underneath Item: select Window
- In the drop down menu for Color 1: change the color to black
- Press the OK button, and then the apply button
- If you want to keep things this way you can press OK again
This is the only option for changing the backrground color in Windows Live Photo Gallery as it is tied to all the other Window views. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you.

Answer 3：Hi Shane,
That's not what I would like to do. This program is the only one I want with a black background. I know it sounds picky but the pictures looked better that way and there was a richer texture to them when scrolling. Someone at the Photo Gallery team must also feel that way because the slide show has a black background.
I do appreciate your suggestion but I think I'll just wait for an update and maybe the background will change then. I'd also like to add that the Photo Gallery has not crashed with the new version.
Thanks,
