It's not clear from your message whether the white background is on
your standalone or just in the IDE. I have the same thing when I build
a standalone--but the white background only appears in the IDE. The
standalone metal looks as it should. I can bring back the metal look
in the IDE by doing something like clicking the resizable button on
the stack propery palette.

I know the metal look has had problems in the past. So far I haven't
seen anything other than this IDE cosmetic glitch.
