Couldn't find this option in very primitive looking Preferences nor in any of the menus..
My wife works hours daily with pictures and gets headache by staring at white background...
She's used to black background in iPhoto...
Thanks for any help.

It is not possible in Photos to change the background colours.

Your wife could still use iPhoto for the time being. It only requires to update iPhoto to version 9.6.1: If you missed the update, see this user tip:
Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS... | Apple Support Communities
...more trouble... who needs that .... anyway...? iPhoto got worse and worse and at the point you though, it hardly can't get any worse, they invented Photos...
Now wheel is spinning every time you want to do something for minutes..
Desperation spreads, dissappointment... my wife is blaming me for killing her order in the library in iPhoto because Photos imported her library in different order...(...??????!!!!!!!)...
....and the question:
Why is it no more possible in 2015 to drag a photo from one event to another and drop it in there... why is this photo being marked and reacts to dragging as being dragged and then just returns into it's old position no matter how hard I scream ?
What is this...
Sorry, frustrating really.
Back to right after Hitler..
Thanks for any help if help is here possible.

You don't have to use Photos only because it has been installed by Yosemite. Ignore it.

The new Photos.app does not have events. The "iPhoto Events" folder is a folder with albums to rescue the events your created in iPhoto. For each of your events has a n album been created to save the section of photos in the event and the name of he event. But since this items are albums, you cannot move photos by drag-and-drop. You can add photos to albums by dragging them there, but the photo will stay in the album you dragged it from. If you want to move between albums drag to the destination album and use the command "remove from album" to remove the photo from the source album.
Hi leonie,
thanks so much, thank to your help I was able to reinstall iPhoto 9.6.1 and the old nice professional looking and calm for the eyes appearance came back to our screen..Each operation, scrolling goes immediately, no wheel turning... I don't know why anybody would invent that annoying PHOTOS program. The previous versions of iPhoto were even better, especially the sharpness, definition and above all the De-noise function, that is just making everything blurry in the 9.6.1 and before was just doing a perfect face lifting job.
Sorry for all this but just giving my opinion here for anybody reading this maybe in the future.
Thanks again, great job.
