Retro backgrounds available for Widgets Preference Pane
Back in June I wrote about Widgets Preference Pane, which is a Mac OS X preference pane (as I'm sure you guessed) that gives you great control over Dashboard and your widets. Use it to quickly view all of your installed widgets, deactivate, activate or delete any of them, install new widgets via drag and drop and much more. You can also replace the widget bar's default perforated metal background. Use one of the supplied alternate backgrounds or make your own.If you're like me - not the artistic type - visit Pixeldecor. Owner Jen has made several graphics specifically for replacing the metal backdrop, each with a cool, retro feel. Check it out.

Hey all, just wanted to pass on that I WAS gonna make special version of my patterns for dashboard then realized that dragging and dropping any of may patterns worked, it just cuts them of at 118. The image gas to be at least 118 tall from what I can tell. Some of my patts do look better in there if they are scaled down naturally, but they don't have to be scaled down. So I just didn't bother making sppecila patterns - yet. I hope to at some point soon. If you are looking for an easy eay to scale stuff down easily, get ImageWell, it's awesome for that.

It is hard to explain, but if you look at my texture, you will understand. Thanks, hope you enjoy!
