If you want to change the background you could use

public class FractalPreferenceActivity extends PreferenceActivity  {
   .......

    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    getWindow().setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.drawable.gradient); 
    getListView().setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT); 
    getListView().setCacheColorHint(Color.TRANSPARENT); 

           .......
    }

}
