On the subject of Mac desktop patterns/pictures. Even though I use a custom gray desktop picture the full size of my monitor resolution, this is perhaps not the best approach.
It might be wise to also look into saving the file as plain old 24bit RGB or perhaps look into 8 or 16 bit RGB (dithered or not) for faster screen redraw. The older classic Mac opeating systems sometimes used a 'seamlessly repeating pattern' which was a 2x2 pixel square of black/white chess board type alternating pattern. This was then tiled by the OS to fill any size display and way very quick. You can choose to make the colours black and darker gray instead of white to make a darker appearing average than white/black.
