default ask and answer dialogs problem

I have set up a stack with its own windowShape and backgroundPattern, but when I call up ask or answer dialogs (standalone Mac OS X) within the stack, they appear with the stack's backgroundPattern and not the default Mac pattern. I assume these dialogs inherit the backgroundPattern of the stack they're in? If so, how can I 'disinherit' them, so they appear as they normally would?

Dear jrioux,
You will have to set the background colour or pattern of the dialog stacks to the desired value.
Best,

Mark,
Thanks for the reply. Any idea what that value is? There's a pattern in Rev's standard set that's horizontal pin stripes, but it's not the same.

I filed this bug in May as #6488. It's still, of course, listed as "unconfirmed". It's annoying that this works fine in the IDE but then the behavior changes when you build a standalone. AFAIK there's no workaround without building your own "standard" dialogs for ask and answer. And it appears to be localized to OSX - Windows doesn't have this problem.

Hi,
What about going invisible to the Ask Dialog and Answer Dialog stacks and setting their mainstacks to themselves, before using the ask and answer commands? Just an idea...
Best,
