There is absolutely no point in trying to run a "metal" background on 
Windows. It's a Mac OS feature that people try to emulate. It's tricky 
because as Tuviah said it's weird combination of pattern and gradient. 
(for some reason) I don't like the appearance myself to want to emulate 
it in my apps.

By why are you posting this? Just couldn't resist an opportunity to 
bash OS X?

That's kinda funny because there are numerous OS X users on this list, 
and if you look at runrev.com, all the screenshots are of OS X. Go 
figure! Yeah it must really suck.
