<p>Want the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/08/02/access-icloud-beta-apps-via-javascript/">iCloud.com beta</a> background image as your desktop wallpaper? I did too, so I grabbed the background image file from iCloud’s springboard, tiled it, and put a similar shadow on it with Photoshop. The result is this 2000×1080 PNG file, ready to be <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/16/set-mac-os-x-desktop-background-wallpaper-from-any-image-in-safari/">set</a> as your desktop background</p>

<p>It also looks great as a standard wallpaper, Terminal background, or as a <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/27/change-background-wallpaper-of-dashboard-mac-os-x-lion/">replacement for Dashboards background</a> in Mac OS X Lion. Here’s how it looks on a Mac OS X desktop:</p>

<p>If you want to try making your own, or you want the t-shirt pattern without the shadow, this is the 256×256 tiling texture image that Apple uses on iCloud.com, which is then given a giant box shadow to render the background:</p>
