On the latest version of the XML file, to default this to "Yes" in every user's CP options, I had to modify "product-thread_listing_bgcolors_english.xml" before install (or upgrade) as follows:

Changed the line:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ADD bgcolors INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '[B]0[/B]' NOT NULL"); 


To:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user ADD bgcolors INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '[B]1[/B]' NOT NULL"); 


.
Worked like a dream for me and also worked on existing forum users.
