Freebie: 'Pixelated Seamless Tile Background'

By -
Backgrounds and textures are increasingly important in contemporary web design. It can be hard to find suitable patterns for web design, I know, I've looked. It seems like everyone uses Adobe filetypes. Well here is a GIMP pattern (.pat) for free. See how I've used it below and then download it for yourself.

Create a high-tech look with this tile background. Not the crazy parallelograms, the gray part.
Use it for your background image in Google Sites for a fast-loading interesting background.

Try it as a table background. Remember edit html, background="image url here" in either <table> or <td>

Download the .png file using 'Pay with a Tweet.'



What is 'Pay with a Tweet'?
How can I convert this to use as GIMP pattern?
  • Open the .png file in GIMP > Save as... > Find your GIMP Folder (usually under your user) >save as a .pat > refresh your patterns and you should see it.

Tip - Using Social Media Buttons

Hey, I'm Web Princess aka Beckystar and welcome to my first blog, thank you Kyle for having me! Using social media buttons to share your site or content is easy and expected by your visitors. Social buttons or icons facilitate the sharing of your site, content or blog and are now a linchpin of social media. It’s not enough to simply produce content these days. Your fans (hooray for them!) want a gizmo (I prefer gizmo to gadget) in place to allow them to share what they have read or seen with their family, friends and colleagues on Facebook, Twitter etc. Lucky for us there are some great tools out there.
