Keep in mind that this isn't going to look much like a Brushed Metal app, because the texture is only one part of it. A brightness gradient is also applied, but that is done programatically; there is no texture for that part of the look. So there's no way you'll be able to get a perfect match (which is probably for the best, since the last thing you want is to have to face the wrath of Apple's lawyers).

You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

Actually, you can find the gradient from within the Extras.rsrc file using ThemePark.

Thanks one and all. I tried doing a vew source but couldn't figure out how to get the file from there. It was (I think) in some wierd directory that I could not fathom.
I'm just using it to make some additional custom .mac pages blend in with the rest of my Homepage created pages.

I didn't know that; thanks. But what is the gradient, exactly; is it a bitmap image that could be used in a Web page, or is it some sort of vector instruction set?

I'd guess it's just an image that they scale to the size of the window. As far as I know, there are no vector graphics in OS X's GUI.
