I need the Aero theme enabled on my Windows 7 machine because a program I use requires it (Sticky Previews).
However, I want a solid color as my desktop background.
(I want this because I am accessing the Windows 7 machine (on which I want to enable Aero with a solid desktop background color) remotely using Teamviewer and my local machine has a video playing as the desktop background using Deskscapes and inactive windows are transparent using WindowFX, so the desktop background of the remote Windows 7 machine interferes with the local desktop background when the remote window is inactive.)
I simply cannot find a way to enable the Aero theme on my remote Windows 7 machine, while at the same time setting the desktop background to a solid color. Every time I switch the desktop background to a solid color, Aero is automatically disabled.
Surely it must be possible to have an Aero theme that displays just a solid color as the desktop background in Windows 7 on this remote machine.
How do I accomplish this?

@Ramhound I meant Windows 7, not Windows 10. I just spaced out when I wrote the question. I've just edited the question. – Dan Nissenbaum – 2015-10-22T16:12:53.010
@Ramhound The remote machine is Windows 7. The local machine is Windows 10. – Dan Nissenbaum – 2015-10-22T16:15:54.977
@Ramhound I have carefully read through the question and added clarifying parenthetical comments. Thanks! – Dan Nissenbaum – 2015-10-22T16:44:28.793
