how to change the background color of a window in finder?

Click to expand...

Click on the window. Under the view menu select show view options. There is a radio button at the bottom. Only Available in Icon View.

in applescript

tell application "Finder"
set background color of icon view options of window 1 to {0, 65534, 65534}
end tell

NSAppleScript is your friend.

But you can still run AppleScripts from your Objective-C code; using the tips above.

(This flexibility is a good thing, you can use Cocoa, Carbon, AppleScript & Unix shell scripts all in one application).

Coming is leopard is Script Bridge which has got to be one of the most kick ass things to happen to AppleScript since... hmm... its creation

/wrote code to build and send applescript commands
//Page and a half tell the scriptable text editor to turn a few words red.
///In MacApp 2.0 --Object Pascal FTW
////Its no easier in Carbon
