One of my customers has a really crazy color layout in his beach home, and during the winter months, I usually make new graphix changes so when I go in mid-march, I update all the touchpanels to newer graphix for the summer.

So I started working on what he called "faded backgrounds", he wanted assorted primary colors and then some with white centers. After creating some basic backgrounds for him to look over via e-mail, he requested that I use them all, and to basically scatter the colors in the certain rooms that needed the new colors.

After basic manipulation in CS3, I came up with these, and since I probably wont be needing these that much after this job, I figured on posted them here since others might need different b/g's.

If you are interested, I can send you a full zip of the backgrounds, or even the source .PSD if you'd like to edit them yourselves.

The animation below is a down-graded copy of the backgrounds as an animated .gif, the originals are full blown color with NO DITHER! They look really good on the office demos, and work real nice with the transparent "glass" theme!

C&C welcome, and let me know if you'd like a copy!

Joey,
I recently did something very similar for a client, just red, green, blue, but a little more muted. I also found that for some screens, vertical or horizontal gradients looked better behind the layout than the radials.

I would like to take a look at your .psd file.

Thanks
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

I always agree about the horizontal/vertical gradients, and usually stick to my guns, but the customer has a ton of those MLV lights that cast the colorful beams of light onto the walls and ceilings, and they give the "spotlight" effect on the floors, so the radial kept with the movement of the lighting in the rooms!

The .PSD file is sent!

I wish I had the time to mess with the color graphics...

Don't read my answer. Someone else will go into great detail as to why I am wrong rather than answer the original question...
