Changing The Background To My Finder Troubles

I'm pretty sure this is a common question, and I’ve looked everywhere for the answer and I have found just what I was looking for many times over, however. I'm having an issue locating the background option after opening the ' show options window.'

Where there is supposed to be a list of background options: White, color, picture, etc there isn't a backgrounds option available? I Added screen shots along with this post-of what I'm talking about below. I would greatly appreciate any help.

I'm currently running 10.6.6, 2.8GHz Intel core 2 Duo (I’m not sure if knowing this will make a difference but it couldn't hurt).


Thank you

try viewing it in thumbnail mode.

Thanks for replying, unfortunately the link you provided is about G5 cooling systems, I couldn't find anything related on that page.

thats my blog lol, i never supplied a link. all you need to do is click on this in your finder window. see attached.

As robduckyworth has pointed out, that option is only available in icon view.

It is not an option in list, column or CoverFlow views.

HAHA! I'm so sorry, I didn't see your attachment. I tried it in icon view and it worked. I don't normally use it- Which is probably why I was having such a hard time.

Thanks for everything.

glad it is sorted
