    shipen, Xara provides a very limited range indeed.
    All these fill are just jpegs that have a seamless texture.

    Just try a Search: brushed aluminium steel seamless texture fill.
    I am sure you'll find something.

    Hmm... I did have a quick look, but I can't find anything that:
    A) looks like FLAT brushed metal
    B) look like a bright bit of chrome or steel (rather than a dull grey aluminium)
    C) have a grain brushed stroke at an angle off vertical (ideally a shallow angle like 20 or 30 degrees off vertical)
    D) if possible repeat cleanly without borders

    Everything seems to either:
    - look like rather dull grey metal and/or
    - look like a cylindrical rather than flat piece of metal and/or
    - fail to repeat cleanly and/or
    - have an annoying logo in it !

    TBH, I still can't find anything that works - mostly random metal objects rather than metal textures.... but thank you. Very well worth knowing about

    Cheers
