Sandro, Thanks for the advice with trying it out on the Kitchen Sink demo. After looking at the BXML for that, I noticed everything was wrapped in a Border container that had a background color set...after I mimicked that behavior things have began looking significantly better than before. Thanks!
I will try to send some screenshots of what I saw before and what my BXML looked like. However, I'm guessing what I ran into was more a product of not ever explicitly setting a background color in the hopes a default dark color would take hold. I'm at work and cannot send email from my laptop while here.

I'm using v2.0.4 for a Pivot version. good. As a trick, if you have Pivot sources you could even try to update main TerraTheme_default.json, and run all applications with it without specifying your custom file (and even to better show how the UI looks); I this way I use Component Explorer and Kitchen Sink to ensure that custom colors looks good in more complex combinations of components. > Is there a solution to getting everything inside the window a similar colored > background? it depends on components used, and this is a kind of changes I made in trunk (already committed) > I would prefer the dark colors, but if that means there will still be places > that the white shows then I'll just revert to using the default. In trunk there are changes even to fix this. Could you attach here a screenshot, and maybe even a minimal bxml file so I can take a look ? If you have some time, could you try even with Pivot-2.1.0 (not released but code base is stable enough) currently in trunk ? I made a lot of changes there for improving/fix visual styles (normal and dark) ... Tell me if you need more info/help. Bye, Sandro
