What are you asking me for?  You did the rendering.  It's part 3846p43.
It's one of those special patterned parts, where main color specifies
the *pattern* color, not the base part's color.  In this case, it's the
border color.  If it rendered gray, chances are you set the color to 7.

So what?  If someone wants to contribute a GUI editor that runs on X
Windows from a Solaris server, we should support it on the site.  If
there's nothing there now, it's a good place to put an plea for more
tools.
