Leopard Tip: Change the Look of Finder

Mant people may not find to their liking the blue and white stripes in the background of the Finder application in the List View mode. Now you can remove these lines with a simple tweak, here's how: 

Open the Terminal application and type in the following command string: defaults write com.apple.finder FXListViewStripes -bool FALSE then, hold down the option key and right-click the Finder icon on your dock. Select Relaunch from the drop-down list.

 At this the blue and white stripes should have been replaced with a nice simple white background.

In order to restore the blue and white stripes all you need to do is replace the FALSE value in the command string with the value TRUE.
