If you notice in your CSS from the Style Explorer, you've got fillAlphas set
to [0.53, 0.42] ... That means your ApplicationControlBar is transparent and
your brown background is showing through. On the Flex Style Explorer, the
default background is that blue gradient... So, the ApplicationControlBar
appears blue... If you go to application section of the style explorer and
change the page background to match yours, you should see the same results.
So, what you really want to do is simply change your fillAlphas to [1, 1] so
that there's no transparency, and the color beneath doesn't show through.
Also, thanks for catching and passing along the dropShadowColor bug. I've
fixed it in the source, and you'll see the fix in the next release.
Thanks again,
-Peter
