The person who really has nice looking Mac-like apps is Ken Ray. I  
don't know that the app of his I've seen is publicly available but he  
does great work.

I use a graphic with the backgroundpattern set to an image that has  
the gradient. With the new gradient feature in Rev I would just use a  
gradient though. Newer controls in ScreenSteps just use the gradient  
rather than images.

This is a data grid with the background color set.
