    Default Messing with backgrounds

    Hi Everybody,

    I have in mind a pasteboard background that would be capable of being tiled. The basic style of this background would be a bunch of contours like a map might look like.
    Given that my artistic capability is more like an angry two-year old with a 12" paint brush, could someone direct me to a tutorial that might get me off on the right foot?
    Many Thanks,
    -Paul-
    If I wasn't so stupid, I wouldn't have to be so persistent.

    Paul, the trick is to achieve a repeating Tile in the first place.

    Either cheat by searching for suitable images or Use Live Copies if your XDA has such or by hand as shown.
