Stack backgroundcolor.

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

repeat the number of cards
  set the backcolor of this cd to white
  go next
end repeat

;)

You could put a white graphic with a white pattern
in the background group of all cards (if you use one). 

I had to do this for XP since the backgrounds are not 
filled in as non xp themed windows. 
Showing the border is the problem in that case... 

Hopefully they will fix this in the future because it's 
been surprising users for over a year!

If there is one thing that is not crossplatform on Revo
it's the patterns and backgrounds... In some cases you
have to dance over your head to find a smooth solution.
In some cases you have to redraw all the windows patterns
for the Mac (as in the gradientsN2O stack I made!). Very
unsatisfatory...

Also if you have a menu and a card color, your menu's colors
will be screwed and this is where object inheritance in RR
gets in the way...

The obvious solution is to make controls non-opaque and lay
a background below... This avoids most of the non-crossplatform
traps.
