Hello all,
I quickly made this up in Photoshop today:
I made it as sort of an "iOS 7" themed bokeh background, but I didn't actually make it
for any specific device, so I (or a willing, helpful community member) could fix it upon request. I can't please everyone in terms of the colors of the gradient, so I've actually put the PSD up for download, and I'll post a tutorial for Photoshoppers that don't know how to fix it somewhat soon. Also, if there is a significant demand, I could look into getting a GIMP format version if the non-Photoshop community wants it.
Here is the download (please, please work):
HereAll comments on the fast (5 min.) design welcome, from praise to hate!

I'd recommend uploading a .png version. Many people won't have a Mac (which natively supports .psd files) or Photoshop.

Right-click the image (it is the full-res version) and hit "Save As" or "Download Image" or whatever your browser has. That is the full size .png file.

Thanks for the feedback. In addition to changing the gradient, you can also apply a color or gradient overlay to them in the layer styles menu and change the blend mode to Multiply (or whatever works) to give them some color.
EDIT: Also made another background. Not gonna provide the PSD or a tutorial unless there is a demand for it as it's fairly trivial (just run the pointillize filter and make some changes) to make another with different colors.

That is the full size .png file.
The link ends with '.psd' though.

Nice modification, LuaCrawler! I like it. It has a nice black hue.

I took OSX Maverick's background and did some tweaking to it. Took a computer picture, didnt want to make it so big, so I only made it like 10 pixels bigger then the original one. I accutly like the Terminal front as you see, So I used it.

I like how you put the OS X 10.9 default background in the back (although nobody uses it ;)/>). Oh, and I clicked on it. No issues.

I know some people who Use it, My friend Turtle (Hes Banned from this forum but still a good friend on Skype)(We are also working on a OSX Mavericks based Os ;)/> ) Just got Mavericks on his Old Laptop and uses it. Clicking it will just fill the whole screen w/ the image casue its around 5000x2000 pixels. Though the only problem that happened to me is I cant close it, needed to refresh (The close button wasnt working)

I know how to do that in Photoshop, it's pretty easy. ;)/>
And yes, Turtle (Hax0r) is a good friend, and he has told me a bit about your OS. (Needed my help with CC on Valicraft and then we added each other on Skype.)

He has a Mac? He told me, like, 1 or 2 weeks ago that he had a PC with an installation of Windows. I have a PC (Windows and Ubuntu VM) and a Mac computer. I think he set up a VM, through some weird distro of OS X. (I told him to get a Mac or at least the official OS X installer, as you can make the installer into bootable media.) And I've PM'd you my Skype name ;)/>
EDIT: Derp, he changed his Skype status to say he has a Mac.
