Link? 1440x900 if possible.

I was also wondering about this - maybe if there was one in more of a blueish colour? 1280x1024 ()

You know, the funny thing is that you cannot, as far as I can see, simply pick a custom solid colour for the desktop to be in OS X (!)

Ended up saving an image and tiling it.

This is my new 24" iMac at work. Nothing special, but check out the resolution (1920x1200).

Copy the Solid Gray png file from your Library/Desktop Pictures folder and photo edit it to black. Save it back in that directory as Solid Black and it will appear in Solid Colours. Works perfectly.

Currently I am experimenting with minimalist goodness but using Menushade to hide the Menubar, hide Dock option, hide Disks on the Desktop and a solid black background. Nothing but a cursor and, as another experiment, Quicksilver again.

Yeah - I just made a solid black square and put it in the wallpaper folder. Still, to have the only choices for plain colour backgrounds hard-coded as image files rather than simply a value from a colour picker is shockingly convoluted

I've been spending more time on my iBook since my iMac is broken so I decided to jazz it up a little.

Background available on interfacelift.

One of my 80 wallpapers that change ever time I log on. Also used in 1360x768 in clamshell.
