Ringo, You are correct, you can not set the background color in the config files. What you could do is e.g. change the text color of the page headings, or set a different font (comic sans for personal notes sure would get noticed).
You can not make a setting per notebook, but you can make a setting per "profile". Then you assign the notebooks to these profiles using the properties dialog.
