Custom Background Extended is the new WordPress plugin by Justin Tadlock. The plugin simply allows you to use a custom background color or per post basis in WordPress. It extends WordPress default background feature and allows you to overwrite the values for single posts using its simple meta box (on single post edit screen) that allows you to give a custom background.
