You're right, white is {65535,65535,65535}. But, now there's another problem. You would think that this ...

tell application "Finder"
set folderRef to (target of window 1) as alias
set background color of icon view options of (window of folderRef) to {65535, 65535, 65535}
end tell


would always set the folder background to white. And, it will, provided the folder window HAS a background color to change. If the window has a bg picture, then it does not have a bg color to change, and all you can do is change the picture file. If you try to use the 'set background color ...' command on a window having a bg picture, nothing happens. I smell a bug here.

And, there is no command equivalent to manually setting the bg to White.

In Tiger and previous, I used ...

set background picture of icon view options of (window of folderRef) to someFolder

as a work-around to make a background picture go away. This no longer works. So I tried using ...

set background color of icon view options of (window of folderRef) to {0, 0, 0}

but, this makes the bg color BLACK. And so does {k, m, n} for all values of k, m and n that I can think of. I'm totally ignorant of color coordinates, so how do I set the bg color to WHITE?

If I remember well, white is {65535,65535,65535}
