From another member of this mailing list:

You can set up your own template with a background image and make it the
default template. For background colour alone and/or font colour you can
do what I've done - alter the default settings: /Tools /Options /OpenOffice
.org /Appearance : Custom Colors - General : Document Background, Font
Color. In my case, the colours I wanted weren't there so I chose similar
colours and changed the rgb (red, green, blue) mix to what I wanted. My
text documents and spreadsheets have the same background and font colours -
cream and navy blue respectively - by default. I've set a default template
(/File /Templates /Save) with the font family, font size and number of sheets
(one)) that I want by default in a new spreadsheet.

I am personally working on how to set a background image, but that may
take some time.
