I think you may be looking for this:
Edit Explorer & IE Shell Parts/Edit Vista & 7 Explorer Parts/Folders Bar.
In the Extra Settings Tab you will see 'Background Color (Win7)'.
Note: you must have an image in this section, even though you don't see the folders bar in Windows7, for this setting to work.

Sorry about that. Xiandi is correct. I gave you the right side. Thanks Cyn for correcting me as it was just a senior monent.

On the left hand side of SKS -- Backgrounds/Edit explorer background bitmaps/explorer backgrounds
Edit the very top one "active window. You can use a 10x10 px, 100x100 px if you wish to see it better when making it. Hope this is what you are asking.
