Geek Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png" alt="Mac OS X Lion's grey linen wallpaper tile" title="NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor" width="256" height="256" class="alignright size-full wp-image-22485" /> The lightly shaded <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/10/linen-wallpaper-from-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-mission-control/">large linen wallpaper</a> from the OS X Lion developer previews didn’t end up being the final shipping version, instead a linen tile came with the final release of Lion. This linen tile appears everywhere in Mac OS X 10.7 and even iOS 5, from Mission Control, to behind Safari windows, Notifications Center, LaunchPad and iOS folders, and a variety of other places.</p> <p>We’ve uploaded both versions of the gray tile to this post and <a href="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png">you can download it here</a>, but there isn’t much reason to if you’re on a 10.7 based Mac right now because you can access them directly yourself.</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.1em;">Getting the Grey Linen Tile from the Mac OS X Finder:</h2> <ul> <li>Hit Command+Shift+G to bring up the “Go To Folder” window</li> <li>Enter the following path: <code>/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/</code></p> <li>Locate the file named “NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png” that is the linen tile that is ubiquitous in Mac OS X Lion</li> </ul> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/NSLinenBackgroundPattern.png" alt="OS X Lion's light gray linen wallpaper" title="NSLinenBackgroundPattern" width="256" height="256" class="alignright size-full wp-image-22495" /> <strong>The Lighter Gray Linen Tile</strong> There’s also a lighter version of the gray linen in the same folder, named “NSLinenBackgroundPattern.png”</p> <p>The linen tiles make a great wallpaper, just be sure to set it to “Tile” in the Desktop & Screen Savers preference panel, rather than stretch, or it’ll look awful.</p> <p>Nope, not the most thrilling post in the world, but we’ve been asked twice in the past two days about this and it came up <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/osxdaily/status/125068557305389056">again on Twitter</a> yesterday, so hey, why not make a post about it. Enjoy.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hnlxfDWyn-ZJ0oznKa0ykzcVJmA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hnlxfDWyn-ZJ0oznKa0ykzcVJmA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hnlxfDWyn-ZJ0oznKa0ykzcVJmA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/hnlxfDWyn-ZJ0oznKa0ykzcVJmA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=t920plIF9eQ:d2SUdrYTLeE:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=t920plIF9eQ:d2SUdrYTLeE:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=t920plIF9eQ:d2SUdrYTLeE:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=t920plIF9eQ:d2SUdrYTLeE:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=t920plIF9eQ:d2SUdrYTLeE:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=t920plIF9eQ:d2SUdrYTLeE:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=t920plIF9eQ:d2SUdrYTLeE:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/t920plIF9eQ" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
