    @ Acorn:
    The larger, lower block is a rectangle with the letter B, clone and flipped to the right and both cloned and flipped down.
    All four were then selected and a Bitmap Copy make.
    The result is a seamless repeating pattern.
    But not in a seamless brushed metal effect Acorn. The repeating pattern is very obvious. Perhaps I'm missing your point?

    or the classic way,
    take a photo of the metal (or whatever)
    load it in krita and make it seamless repeating (press [w]).
    and use it in X.

    and all honour falls to you.
    no sicknature. for nearly 20 years. omg ...
    For many problems there are simple and easy-to-understand solutions that do not work.

    Egg, I made it very obvious on purpose to show how to create a seamless set of boxes. What you do with the method is up to you.

    Egg,

    Who made the named colors metal fills that you copied in? I could not understand what you said. I would like to download this as I think it could be useful.

    Thanks
    Ray

    Hi Ray, I can't remember who made it, but I've had it years.

    I attached the xar file in post #8 in this thread

    I know we're going back a while now, but I believe that Gary Priester made the original fills for one of his mini-tutorials.
