You mean the background for the file manager? 

Well, that is easy!

a)Go to Computer > Home .
b) Go to Edit > Backgrounds and Emblems

There you go! Check out the 'err... not so cool ' patterns or add
yours!

I didn't get your second question but I think what you want is non-
spatial looks!

So here it is 

Go to Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor
or

Press ALT+F2 and then run gconf-editor


In the configuration editor navigate to  apps > nautilus > preferences

Check [Tick] the "always_use_browser" key.


Here is a hint: I found both these solutions by going to Applications >
Help! 

So next time, check out the Help Section, it is somewhat helpful
otherwise Ubuntu Forums rock!
