Since 0.4b this is how you should install alternative backgrounds. It might be slightly different on 0.5 and also depending on the skin you use, but basically follow this.

Theme Settings - In the view menu, we've added a new section for theme settings.  Here you can change your cover layout, you can select and preview backgrounds, and you can turn on or off the background animation setting.  To add new backgrounds to your theme menu, you simply save them into your Aurora:\Backgrounds\ folder.  Currently, we support BMP, PNG, DDS, JPG, DIB, HDR, PFM, and PPM image formats.  For optimal use, please use an image that has a resolution of 1280x720.  Smaller and larger images are supported; however, they are scaled and may compromise load times.

This doesn't help me

Where is the folder that default background in?

Default background is built into the skin AFAIK. You would have to disassemble the skin to change it. Why exactly does this not help you, it worked fine for me last time I tested custom backgrounds.

Since the post I made doesn't help you, I have no idea how to answer that question. The only reasons I can think of for it not sticking through a reboot are:

1. You have two Aurora installations and are changing one then booting to another
2. You have a completely bonkered installation.
3. You do not have your profile set to login automatically on boot??

 

edit: So I just tested by changing my background, then signing out and restarting Aurora. When Aurora finished loading it was back to the default background. Signing back in and restarting Aurora brought the custom background back. Assuming you have a profile, go to NXE and assign that profile to sign in automatically. Then make your background changes in Aurora and you will find that they stick through a reboot.

If you set the options when no profile is signed in, then that will stick.. lol.. pretty sure it goes by "per profile" for config options..

Could be Lolz. I didn't try it that way, but I'll test it later to be sure.

Sames goes for quick view settings.. so if one person wants to only have xbla games shown, when that profile signs in.. shows that if it is set as default
