Metal Texture in Snow Leopard

[LunchnMeets at aol.com]

Hi Rev Addicts,

I just upgraded my system software from Tiger to Snow Leopard. The first 
thing I noticed of course is the different way it renders "Metal Texture." 
It's much to dark now. Is there a way to lighten it somewhat? Alternatively, 
how do I set the background color of my stacks? Thanks for all your support in 
the past and future.
