I do have a plea to users of some of these backgrounds. Perhaps I am a tinge obsessive compulsive, but the backgrounds that include uneven specks always make me think I have dust on my monitor that I need to wipe off. So when making a selection, might I ask you to choose a regular pattern rather than ones that are intended to look like spotty paper fiber? That is, of course, unless you are a paper products company. :)
- dgreensp 14y agoI find that any amount of random pixel noise just makes my screen look dirty. Unfortunately, most of the patterns have pixel noise. It kills compression too if you use large tiles.
- kijin 14y agoYes, pixel noise can be annoying. But it can be easily removed with a couple of clicks in Photoshop. Even simply resizing the pattern to 50% (some of the patterns are HUGE, and do you really need Retina resolution in your background texture?) will get rid of most pixel noise. Subtle Patterns are licensed under CC-BY-SA, so you can modify them as you see fit. It would be cool if OP's tool had the option to apply a few simple transformations to the patterns, such as CSS background-size.
