System backgrounds in OS X

[Richard Gaskin]

On Windows, setting the backgroundColor of a stack lets it adopt the 
current system color for window content regions.

Alas, I know of no way to do this on OS X.  Is there?

Historically, I've diligently made an image of the latest OS X striped 
pattern and set the backgroundPattern of my toplevel windows to that.

Now with Leopard the stripes are gone in favor of NeXT-like grey.

If we adopted the same convention we have on Windows for OS X we'd be 
set, so I added this item to the request queue for your voting pleasure:
