      You can only change the background if you remove the perma-search bar and replace it with the normal widget.  The permanent bar cannot be adjusted in any way, as it is not a widget.  Turn it off and add the Google search widget back.

      That's just tells me how to remove it. That was not my question.

      The video shows you how together rid off the permanent bar. After that long press on your home screen, select widget, find Google, select the search.
