Wasn't satisfied with the original's colouring. Too much component transfer and colormatrixes yet the results are lacking a bit. So this time it is a simple black to transparent fade, making it possible remixing easily once there will be other blending modes supported as well. Probably in inkscape 0.92.

A bit simplified version. Although it could be edited out to be simpler. Anyway, this time the tiling is converted to a pattern fill -which is using clipping for the tile's edges.

This ons is quite old school looking. Retro, even. I like it.

This background texture resembles stone. It may be used as a background on web pages or on some of their html elements (header, borders, menu bar, etc.). Just modify it for your needs.

More tactile goodness. This time in the form of some rough cloth.

A seamlessly repeating background pattern of wood. The image is procedurally generated, and, I think, it's turned out quite well.

There are many carbon patterns, but this one is tiny.

Not the most creative name, but it’s a good all-purpose light background.
