Changing the background color of the unified NSToolbar (in Yosemite)

Question

I want to have a unified toolbar and therefore I found this post:

How can I create Yosemite-style unified toolbar in Interface Builder?

self.window.titleVisibility = NSWindowTitleVisibility.Hidden

works perfect.

But is there a way to change the background color for the toolbar? I tried with self.window.appearance = NSAppearance(named: NSAppearanceNameVibrantDark), but this only brings a complete black toolbar (that's too dark). I want to have a custom color.

This one works:

1. Set the window to textured in IB (I don't see a possibility to do it at runtime)

2. Use this code:

   self.window.titleVisibility = NSWindowTitleVisibility.Hidden
   self.window.backgroundColor = NSColor.whiteColor()
   

UPDATE:

To prevent, that the toolbar becomes transparent in Yosemite (if you have a scrollview below the Toolbar), use this code:

self.window.appearance = NSAppearance(named: NSAppearanceNameAqua)
