there are two ways to refer the parent window when using a popup. you can name the parent window by placing this inside the parent window somewhere:

<script>
window.name = "theParent";
</script>

then, you can refer the parent window in links, like so: <A HREF="somepage.htm" TARGET="theParent">.

you can also refer to the parent window using window.opener, in javascript. in this case, i suggest you use window opener.

the specific code that you're looking for, would look somewhat like this:

<A HREF="javascript:window.opener.document.body.style.backgroundImage = 'somePic.gif';"><IMG SRC="somePic.gif"></A>
placing that in your popup window, would change the background picture of the parent window to somePic.gif. alternatively, you could change the background color using

HREF="javascript:window.opener.document.body.style.backgroundColor = '#FFCC99';"

hope that helps.
