Hi,
I just installed CentOS and have been trying to change the desktop panel background (in gnome classic) to black. How do I do this? Holding the alt button while right-clicking on the mouse does not seem to do anything. 

I do not have anything installed (other than what came with the LiveCD).
Many thanks!
