There are a couple of templates that will change with the color schemes -- I
think clouds.pot and ocean.pot are two of them, but I can't remember the
others (or if there even are any others, for that matter!). Microsoft added
some magic to those particular templates to make this happen. Try starting
with one of those two templates and then inserting your own pix as the
background the way you described.
