Am trying to get a form Part background to look like the standard OS X background (the one with light lines running through it). Odd thing is that setting the background and border of a Label to ‘default’ produces the OS X lined background. Setting the background and border of a Form Part (like ‘body’) to 'default does not–it produces an all white background. Is it possible to make the background of a Part assume the OS X LAF background? Followup question–if it is possible, is it then possible to set to match the slightly darker OS X background that appears inside the beveled area in a tab panel?

Yes would be very nice, just like one can choose a (little) repeating background picture developing a webpage.
Just put one big label box (take off transparency) over the entire part and send it to the back object. Doesn’t quite reach the left edge in form view though.
Chances are that the behavior will change with the next Java release from Apple.

FI…Just downloaded the 1.4.2 Java preview from Apple. It’s only a point release, but thought it was worth a try. No joy. Same behavior.
we will investigate this
