Actually, the former and current pattern both came from Mr. Fingers; who is not related to either salad nor banana fingers. Yes, he is indeed the pattern master.
Yeah, it’s kind of bad about those buttons that they aren’t just tall enough for two rows of text to fit evenly. I suppose it’s not a bad comprimise, though.

Have you checked out Squidfingers’ patterns? I’m not sure if I told you about him or not. He’s the background pattern master.

Sorry man. I crashed around 3:30 am PST. The background is much subtler now. I like that better. Oh, and the CC button is nice. Too bad there wasn’t room for one more row of gray pixels.

BTW, I hadn’t seen the new flickr pics. I like the ones from New Year’s.

Changed the background, but of course I messed the pattern up some. I also am playing around with some colors as well. I’m not sure that the blue and brown play well together. I do like the utility pole image, though. I think Flickr is the coolest.
Oh, yeah, what do you think of my two line Creative Commons button? I think it didn’t turn out too bad.

I know exactly what you are getting at. I had actually wanted a pattern that gave an overall tan effect, rather than brown anyway. This is kind of like looking a stereogram or something.
I also wanted one that wasn’t overtly flowery or anything concrete. Much more of an abstract pattern.

Wow. I’ve never been called a Jedi Master before. Thanks.

Anywho— Looks like things are shaping up for the super_structure. I like the background pattern, but it’s almost too high-contrast for me, personally. I’d like to see it toned-down a little. Instead of white and brown, maybe an off-off-white and brown. Of course, it could be that I’m looking at it on a laptop screen.
