    This is a nice suggestions, but I have noticed that when the number of contents in the folder is large, the image does not extend to the complete finder window which sort of makes it ugly. In such cases, some part of the finder window has the picture while the rest is just the background colour. Is there any way to extend the picture to the entire finder window?
