Not a bug - the default is to use 'native' themes on desktop 
platforms, and that also

influences the background color of a stack.

Yes - in the dictionary entry for the backgroundColor property of 
objects:


```
Cross-platform note: On Mac OS, OS X, and Windows systems, if the 
backgroundColor of all objects in the object hierarchy is empty, the 
background color set by the system is used.

```

Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Not a bug - the default is to use 'native' themes on desktop platforms, 
and that also

influences the background color of a stack.

If you don't want that - then you need to explicitly set the background 
color.


Warmest Regards,

Mark.

Different default bg color of stacks Mac/Win

[Klaus major-k via use-livecode]

Hi friends,

this week I have been bitten again by the fact that the default bg color 
of a stack is different on a Mac an Windows!

If you don't set the bg color of a new stack on a Mac it will be WHITE.
If you then open that stack on Windows, the bg color is a light grey. :-/

See screenshot of a stack with two OPAQUE (and white) text fields created 
on Mac and opened on Windows. Surprise, surprise...

If a bug, should I create a report for that?
