There are several color and pattern related bugs with distribution 
builder and standalones. Some involve backgroundcolor, backcolor, 
hilitecolor, and the pinstripe "pattern" used on MacOSX for modeless 
stacks. Not all of these are confirmed, but you might get some ideas by 
reading the comments.

Bugzilla Bug 35
	  	distribution builder's "copy default colors" results in grey hilite 
under classic macos

Bugzilla Bug 176
	  	Standalone does not display the stack background color

Bugzilla Bug 686
	  	Standalone does not display set background color.

Bugzilla Bug 840
	  	"Why do colors change when I create standalone?" documentation 
doesn't match Distribution Builder

Bugzilla Bug 862
	  	DB sets bottomColor to black in mainstack of standalone

others that I can't find
