What on earth is the problem? RIght click on your desktop and choose another wallpaper, as well as another background color, just as you would as any other user.

I'm on SuSE right now and just tried it, it works perfectly normally.

Does it really take all that much brain power to figre that out?

Oh, and bu the way: Don't run as root. That's why the ugly wall paper is there, to scare you away.

Log in as a normal user and use su - and sux to do what you need to as root.
