 * Just download it again and pull default from the newly downloaded version.

 * Just download the zip file for wordpress to your desktop, and unzip the files.
   Both themes that come standard (in folders named both “classic” and “default”)
   are in:
    wp-content/themes/default or wp-content/themes/classic.
 * To change the background of either, you want to open a file in the right theme
   folder called style.css with a text editor.
 * You are looking for something like
    `body{ background-color: #ffffff; }
 * There will be a lot more than that in the Body part, but the background color
   is what you want. You can change the #ffffff (or similar) to one of the basic
   colors (wordpress recognizes many, such as red, orange, gray, purple, white, 
   black, etc), or you can use the Hexidecimal numbers for colors (you can find 
   examples here: [http://www.htmlhelpcentral.com/hexcolors.php](http://www.htmlhelpcentral.com/hexcolors.php))
 * Hope this helps.

 * Don’t believe what monkeypup said about the default theme’s background 🙂
    Because
   it is an image and you’ll never be able to change it from the stylesheet…

 * If you don’t know… you better forget the K-theme. It’s not for the beginners.
