A subtle shadowed checkered pattern. Increase the lightness for even more subtle sexiness.

I’m not going to use the word Retina for all the new patterns, but it just felt right for this one. Huge wood pattern for ya’ll.

A seamless texture of black leather. I think it will look best when used in headers, footers or sidebars.

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.
