I upgraded my VB to 4.2.1 recently and like many of you I had issues with the background being white. It took me a while, but I was able to fix the background by tweaking the appropriate templates. You can find everything you need to edit in Valter Templates.

For the LATEST POSTS row:

EDIT the template vsa_topstats_stats
SEARCH for vsastats_lpdiv (ignore the first result)
REPLACE background-color:{vb:stylevar editor_background.backgroundColor};
WITH background-color:#HEXCOLORHERE;

SEARCH again vsastats_lpdiv (should be just below previous one)
REPEAT steps above
SAVE

If you use another row that contains blocks you'll need to edit the template for that specific block. For example I have two blocks in a single row: Latest Blog Entries and Most Viewed Threads. So I had to edit the templates that correspond with each block, which were vsa_topstats_blogs and vsa_topstats_mostviewed. If you have something else like Most Popular Forums then you'd edit vsa_topstats_topfurms, etc..

Once you're in the correct template:

LOOK where it says <td style="padding:0px
ADD background-color:#HEXCOLORHERE; right before the padding:0px

EXAMPLE:

<td style="padding:0px

BECOMES

<td style="background-color:#000000;padding:0px

So you're just basically adding that small background line before each padding in the template, which should be 4 times.

See the attached image as an another example. Hope this helps.
