Thanks Randy, I hadn’t realised I could do that. Excellent!

Re: Background colour of a new stack

[Randy Hengst]

Graham,

I also thought the change of color to be a bit odd. 

If I understood you correctly, you are adding a graphic to “cover up” the gray 
background. You don’t need to add a graphic to create the white background. Go 
to the Stack Inspector and change the backgroundColor to white. Then each card 
you make in the stack will have the white background.

be well,
randy

I believe the current default background is inherited from the OS, part 
of the theming enhancements that make LC 8 much more HIG-savvy than 
earlier versions.

Background colour of a new stack

[Graham Samuel]

This may be old news to some, but in the LC7x series and earlier, if you 
created a stack, the card displayed as white. In LC 8.1.1, it displays as grey 
(reported as 220,220,220). To make cards look the way they did in earlier 
versions, I have to created a background rectangle graphic specifically 
coloured white. 

Was this a deliberate change? Or have I  made some odd mistake? Looks like I 
need to tweak some cards.

Graham
