<begin>
Beginning in OS X version 10.5, windows automatically have a textured gradient applied to their backgrounds. The area on which the gradient is drawn is determined automatically. At times, however, this may not work correctly. If your window does not look correct with automatic gradient calculation, disable it by calling setAutorecalculatesContentBorderThickness:forEdge: with a value of NO and the edge to disable automatic calculation for. The value of this property may be accessed using the method autorecalculatesContentBorderThicknessForEdge:.
<end>

@thorsten: is this the right way to turn this gradient-thing off?

Ha, this is fun... IRC log (I am WindowsUser, heh):

jorendc: if you look good, there is some greyish pinstripe pattern in it

WindowsUser: my eyesight is not that good...

jorendc: (and if you play a bit with the screen brightness you'll see it more clear)

jorendc: WindowsUser: but don't mind :-). My stupid mistake to disturb you with that :o

WindowsUser; hmmm, yeah, if I turn on the accessibility zoom feature and align my eyes / glasses just right to get the optimal optical paths;), then I see pinstripes

jorendc: haha :)

WindowsUser: and all this time I have been wondering (whenever that bug comes up), "pinstripes? what pinstripes, what are these people smoking?" ;)

There is a patch awaiting review in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/4287/

Can't wait to test this fix. :)

As I mentioned at the Gerrit page — it works. I can create attachments “before” and “after” if anyone interested. It would be great if some developer can look into this fix and approve or reject it :-?

@Artur, some screenshots would be really great.

Removing love keyword as it never really caught on and it duplicates what "EasyHack" means (code pointer + dev willing to assist if needed).
