How about this flowery pattern?

[Damsella]

I like this! I can make the colours in the forum blend with it.

[Miffy]

I like it.

[donna-j]

I like it - you can see past it if that makes sense.

It's OK! I am on my home computer though now and the boards part is quite a bit wider (no idea what's wrong with the settings on my work computer as the screen is hugely wide)

[claireh]

Hmm not a fan I am afraid!

I didn't actually notice at first and I have 'good eye for detail'on my CV

Exactly! Like donna says, you can "see past it". I think this one's a keeper!

Sorry you don't like it Claireh, but I think it's unobtrusive enough not to notice it after a while

Can't please everyone all of the time!

My gripe (fwiw) is that the floral pattern is really ditzy and doesn't seem to match the sleek style of the rest of the forum (flatter flatter ).

[Samba]

its so unobtrusive on my laptop, I can't actually see what you're talking about

I don't like having less width for the forum itself though

[Damsella]

Yes, I know, it's only a little narrower actually and I will be adjusting things.

I'm glad I've found a pattern though!
