Cannot set Finder window background colour / image I have created a folder inside HD>Users>Username (the folder where default things like Pictures, Movies, Sites, Documents etc. are) and I'd like to change the background image. The only thing is, the option is greyed-out in View Options.

Some info - 

2009 MacBook Pro, Yosemite 10.10.4

[Seemingly] every other folder (including all default folders) (I haven't tested EVERY folder, obviously) can be changed.

I haven't changed anything in the folder's preferences etc. The only thing different is that a folder within this folder has a custom folder icon image.

The folders within this folder also cannot have their BGs changed.

I have tried restarting computer &amp; relaunching Finder, to no avail.

Have I changed an option somewhere without realising? I have looked all over but no one seems to have had the same issue. 

Thanks in advance.
Okay, so I just found a work around instead of a solution.. 

Made a new folder, changed background image and dragged everything over.. 

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm sure it would have worked but it seemed like a lot to try just to change the background on a folder.. A pretty pointless thing anyway really!
