@rca - is there any chance you want to change the board color, and not the background color?
Background is the part outside the frame, board is inside the frame.
Anyway, for board is just zsFlat implemented. I have no idea which kind of effect I could do for zsRaised and zsLowered for the board. I left the options there for the case I get some creative ideas, but I'll probably remove the two unused options.
