Here's another suggestion, although I've never tried it myself...
Try the Kolor or Colorizer INIT/cdev, which lets you set the color of
various parts of your interface (on a color Mac II). I recently saw
someone* using a hard disk that normally runs on a Mac II with an
SE/30. On the Mac II, his title bars are dark blue with light blue
stripes; on the SE/30, they were black with white stripes. (It looked
very odd!) If you can convince Kolor to work on your monochrome Mac,
you might be able to set the window background color to black. This
would affect all applications, not just the Finder.
Hope this helps.
