I can't figure out how to change the background color of a Firemonkey form! Advice I found on the internet does not work:

1. There is no such thing as an "edit default style" or "edit custom style" menu entry when I right-click the form
2. I can't find default shippped styles either in  "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\15.0\Redist\styles\Fmx" or "c:\users\...." or anywhere else on the computer for that matter

Can someone please throw some light over this fairly simple operation? My goal is to have white background on my main form across all devices :)

Try to locate *.vsf and see if you find something like MetropolisUIBlack 
or others... these are inside the styles directory

I don't know why but this directory does not exist. Maybe an issue with user priviledges during installation? Any other thoughts?

You are looking in the wrong places.. this is why you are frustrated...

Styles:

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Embarcadero\Studio\15.0\Styles

There is nothing to do with right clicking on the form...

You need to add a TStyleBook on your form, load a style on it and then in 
Object Inspector:

StyleBook: 

StyleLookup:
