This doesn't apply to the MythMusic 'select music' screen (playlist editor),
as it (a) doesn't use the 'playbackbox' widget, and (b) isn't really
themeable at all yet (at least not under the new scheme that the MythMusic
playback screen uses.  For now, I'd guess it would have to be something in
the qtlook.txt file, maybe just not the "str BackgroundColor".  Did you try
any of the other resources in that file, like "BackgroundPixmap", etc?
Also, I imagine that this window is slated to be migrated to the new theme
infrastructure at some point, so maybe you're better off waiting.
