Look and Feel, Metal texture -- Windows questions

[Xplex at aol.com]

Hello!
 
I'm using Dreamcard in Windows XP, and have been trying the various  options 
under "Look and Feel" in the "View" menu. I'm not sure what some of  the 
options are supposed to look like, but I'm not really seeing much  difference after 
choosing "Mac OS Platinum Emulated."
 
Am I not understanding what this menu option is supposed to do? Is it  
supposed to cause my project to take on a Mac-like appearance, so I can make  sure 
my cross-platform visual design bases are covered? The only difference I  see 
is a slight 3D-ing of the edges of some of the controls. Does this sound  
right? Shouldn't it be a much more drastic difference?
 
I'm also not clear on what the "Metal texture" checkbox in the stack  
inspector is supposed to be doing -- it just flashes the project's window,  but 
doesn't seem to change anything, that I can see. What effect is it supposed  to 
have?
 
I've just started with Dreamcard for Windows, after having used  HyperCard 
extensively many years ago, so many apologies if this is a dumb  newbie 
question! :-)
 
Thanks!
