I have a super strange problem. I want a Textured window to have it normal gradient color. I have an NSTextField in this window, the text field is destined to be an URL input field so it need to be large. The problem is that when it is too large (approximately more than 1/3 of the window width) it just switch the textured window to draw a darker version of it gradient.
Here is an example project (very simple…) for you to test.

When you will build and run it notice the background of the window, initial one is fine, now make the window bigger, it will switch to a darker background.
I really don’t have any idea on how to fix this.
Update: Thanks to cocoahero, if in the content border setting in IB you choose custom you can just set the gradient height to whatever you want, never noticed that before.
It appears to be related to the windows “content border” setting. When it is set to none in IB, the problem doesn’t occur, but also modifies the gradient. Seems like a bug to me. Perhaps time for a radar?
