Sorry if this has been answered. I'm obviously using the wrong google query.

What NSColor should I set my NSWindow background to to look modern like the iApps? (e.g.: iTunes.)

My users dislike the background color generated when "Textured" is set in IB.

I'd recommend against making your own window UI unless you don't mind if your app looks out of place on future releases of Mac OS X. A good example of this was the original Office X, which was heavily pinstriped and looked out of place when Apple toned down the pinstripes in Panther...
