I didn't try it, but I think if you put a repeat for ever and a test for a
custom property or a global if there is something in it then to exit the
repeat might work. just make before you try it to put in an if,  like if the
option btn is down then exit repeat or such, you shouldn't be stuck.

The same way you set the patterns write a stript
if the platform ="Macos" then
 set the backgroundpattern to 210091
Else if the platform = "win32" then
 set the backgroundpattern to ""
Set the backgroundcolor to gray (or match the color)
End if
End if
