It has such strong texture of a similar size to the texture of the text on it. >> Any background needs to be an awful lot subtler than that, and an awful lot >> more pale. > > > I find snow white quite pale, but it was just an example anyway. What if > we had a subtler BG? Would it be a good idea to set it as default? I fear that a background appropriate for those with poor eyesight would be about 256x256. Say: random dots, lowpassed. Raise the brightness and contrast to make it paler, then tilify it. There might be a better convolution than plain lowpass that will perform the tilification in the same step and give better results, but I've done everything except tilifying and it looks good. Does anybody know how to tilify in the GIMP? -- Tristan Wibberley - "it" is the preferred noun of an abated intellect.
