I know that back in v4 you could alter the window1 and window2 to have different colors and/or use an image for each... where would I find this in v5 and how would I add a window bg image to them?

They are no longer window1 and window2 backgrounds.

For an image: Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Body (content) > Lists (Boards, Threads, Posts...) > Rows

As for alternating the backgrounds, unfortunately it isn't a simple setting in advanced styles, BUT it is very easy to do still

I will explain very shortly, in about 40-60 mins (I have only just woke up).

I'm around and round we go

To go along with what he said, if you are looking to alternate the posts or mini profiles (since that is what windowbg 1 and 2 did), you can do this with the Visual editor without the need to touch CSS:

Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSs > Threads > Posts > Odd-Numbered Coloring OR Even-Numbered Coloring
And to alternate mini-profile check under Mini-Profiles > Alternate Colors

Ok so, go to Admin > Themes > Layout Templates > Board > Board List
On line 33 you should see:
<td class="threads">{if $[board.threads] == -1}N/A{else}$[board.threads]{/if}</td>

Add the following to it:
style="background-color: #cccccc;"

So it becomes
<td class="threads" style="background-color: #cccccc;">{if $[board.threads] == -1}N/A{else}$[board.threads]{/if}</td>

Do the same thing to line 35, which is:
<td class="latest last">

So it should become:
<td class="latest last" style="background-color: #cccccc;">

Click "save", and then staying in the same window, select the "Thread List" tab.
Line 17 you should see:
<td class="created-by clickable">$[thread.created_by_user]</td>

Do the same as above, and add the green parts in so that it becomes:
<td class="created-by clickable" style="background-color: #cccccc;">$[thread.created_by_user]</td>

And finally, line 19 do the same:
<td class="views">$[thread.views]</td>

Should then look like:
<td class="views" style="background-color: #cccccc;">$[thread.views]</td>

Change the hex code (#cccccc) to the colour you want to be the alternative colour.

The part for Board List will change the background colours for: Threads, and Last Post
The one in Thread List will change the colours for: Created by, and Views.

Thank you very much for your reply. I should have been more specific however...

All I want to accomplish here is to be able to change the background of a board from a color to an imagem

Of a board, do you mean on the main page where it says the board name, description and moderators?
If so, then: Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Body (content) > Lists (Boards, Threads, Posts...) > Rows

There you can upload an image (or change colour) for them, and also for "highlight/hover" too.
