pattern fills?

Is pattern fills on the future feature list? I’m trying to get the grey/white stripe OS X background theme going. Thanks!

Sorry David,

Java doesn’t support this right now.
If this changes in future, we’ll surely add this functionality.
(it’s on the wish list)

Thanks.

I don’t know if this is an unintentional side effect but the background element of a tab panel is the grey/white stipe pattern on OS X. If you place a tab panel and then delete all the tabs, you are left with a rectangle “object” that has this background topped by a blue bar. Overlay the blue bar with a special-matte border rectangle to make it go away and voila! – a resizable rectangle with a grey/white stripe background. On a PC it comes out as a light grey background so no problems there.

I hope this trick doesn’t break in future builds as I’m basing my design templates around this feature. Beats going to photoshop everytime I need a different size rectangle with this pattern fill… :)
