is there a reason why my
dad's 20 alu iMac 2007 would be displaying this gradient improperly?


Many Macs have 6-bit LCD displays, making them incapable of displaying 32-bit colour, which requires 8-bit pixels. Could that be it?

You might also find that settings such as the screen's gamma can strongly affect the appearance of gradients, etc. Try examining the settings in the Display System Prefs. In fact if your UI is sensitive to such things, it's probably best to try something else.
