Metal .gif available [was Rev 2.5 Redraw Problems]

[Frank Leahy]

Having read about the various problems with metal windows in 2.2 and 
2.5 I decided to see if I couldn't fake it with a metal 
backgroundPattern.  I tweaked a pattern I found on the web, and it 
looks pretty good, with no obvious lines between the tiles.  If anyone 
wants to use it let me know and I'll post it.  Using it is as easy as 
typing "set the backgroundPattern of this stack to theId" (where theId 
is the id of the pattern after you've imported it into your stack).

p.s. It isn't perfect, because there really needs to be a 
semi-transparent image that gets stretched over the top of the gif 
(providing a bit of shadowing), but I found that stretching the png 
image caused RunRev to crash my machine (that's right, it actually 
crashed OSX!) so I gave up having it look perfect...but it's pretty 
close as is, so I'm happy.

Hello everyone,
I'm curious to know whether the redraw problems in 2.5 have been
resolved in some sort of update.  In my version, working in OS X, all
controls disappear (it's scary) from metal-look windows when I switch
from one of the pointer tools in the Object Inspector to the stack
itself.  This happens quite often.  The controls reappear with random
clicking or resizing the stack window using the resize grip.
