[MonoDevelop] Change window title background on MAC

[Tomas Trescak]

Thanks for the link! With a little digging around, I could repeat your solution!
Just in case someone wants to do the same the procedure is following:

1. Reference "MonoMac" in your code
2. Get the PlatformDetection and GtkQuartz classes from monodevelop projects:
3. Add following code to the constructor (and get the background) of the window:

if (PlatformDetection.IsMac) {
            // this is important to initialize correctly the MonoMac 
            MonoMac.AppKit.NSApplication.Init ();
            
    // get the Mac style window
            NSWindow w = GtkQuartz.GetWindow (this);
            w.IsOpaque = false;
            
            var resource = "maintoolbarbg.png";
            // LoadImage method only loads the png from disk to NSImage
            NSImage img = LoadImage (resource);
            w.BackgroundColor = NSColor.FromPatternImage (img);
            w.StyleMask |= NSWindowStyle.TexturedBackground;

}

4. Main toolbar is done in the same way as in the MainToolbar class from MonoDevelop.

Thanks again for your help!
