Sometimes I like a nice dark unobtrusive background when I am at the PC a lot.  I made this one today.  Feel free to use it.  It's 1920 x 1200.

You can chop it up or if you want I can make smaller ones.

That's a great texture, Freddy! I'm more inclined, myself, to use images of soothing, restful places for my backgrounds, but that's just me.

Thanks, I'm slowly learning what you can do with Photoshop. 

I like restful backgrounds too.  I have a lot of photos I use, especially close ups of ferns, hostas and things like that.

This is my current desktop background: (Warning! Links to a HUGE image!)

Well, that was odd. It seems that we can no longer use IMG tags for the title portion of a URL tag. It makes for some unexpected and undesirable outcomes.

Dave, I edited your post, because the link had a double http bit in it.  It should work now.

Looks nice

Dusky seems to be inserting external images okay I think.  I'll have a play with it later.

[DaveMorton]

I must have missed it. You should have seen the mess it created. 4 IMG tags, and 3URL tags, all intermingled... And I know I only typed one each. 

[Freddy]

Hmm that's odd.  Here's a test, seems ok atm.

[DaveMorton]

Maybe the site gremlins just got bored.

[Freddy]

Yeah hehe.  It could be the auto embedding playing up.  If it keeps happening I can turn it off, it's just it's quite useful for youtube videos.

This is the kind of thing I do for backgrounds sometimes.
