There are now three sets of background tiles to choose from. Set "0" is the default we've always had and can not be changed. Set 1 and 2 are your own personal sprites to customize. Click the Editor button to go to the sprite editor room. Click on the Tile Set 1 or 2, then click on the tile you want to edit. Click the "Save" button when you are done to save all your changes to all the tiles.
