Does anyone happen to know where I could get that background ?

I primarily like it because it's very simple!

Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Just create a new document in Photoshop, make it that color of grey, and put a ripple in it using the filter in Photoshop.

Or download Max's Milk theme here and save yourself the trouble. The desktop is included within the theme, just right click "Milk.dlta" -> "Show package contents" to see it.

You could go to www.macdesktops.com . They have some great desktop bg but most of them are pretty amateur

FWIW I get my desktops at customize.org. You should check it out, Some great photoshop artists there. Mostly PC users but the work is still good.

www.mandolux.com has fantastic desktops, I go there all the time for wallpaper. and, of course, the best is to get a nice digital, and shoot your own nothing like having someone ask where you got your desktop, and tell 'em you made it
