Gregory's question was essentially the same as mine. But when I set the
backcolor and the backpixmap of a brand new stack to empty, I don't get an
OS X striped background... I get a plain white background. This is with no
other stacks open, and the look and feel set to OS Native, with MC 2.4.1
under OS X version 10.1.2.
Also I notice that the palettes (Preferences, Tools, basically any window I
bring up) DO have the striped background, but the home stack itself has a
plain white background.
So is this atypical, or am I missing something?
