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...
Along that line, using the standard window background color would
work best for you. See NSColor's class methods for a large list of
standard system colors (including "colors" which are actually patterns).
In answer to your question, you might want to google "CTGradient".
Apple constantly does "their own thing" with UI, but they *are* pretty
well aware of their own plans for future OS UI changes ... ;-)
