I'm looking for dark desktop backgrounds that are interesting without being overly eye-catching and that integrate well into transparent terminals. After spending more time than intended tonight looking for new backgrounds, I've found the following that are almost what I want but not completely:
Black_Tech <- As the name implies, I like how this makes the desktop feel "techy", as though it were made out of rubber or metal.
Scraped <- This is a nice, non-repetitive "wallpaper".
Dark_Suede_Skull <- I like the background itself but not the skull pattern. I'm tempted to shoop it out of the image.
I think the common theme is that each of these makes the desktop feel like a surface (instead of the more common "window" effect that you get from photos etc).
If you know of anything similar, post them in this thread.

Perhaps a very silly question, but does a dark theme reduce power consumption? So far I've managed to tickle some seven hours out of my T41 7200mA battery but want more...

I don't think so..actually dark themes are said to increase powerconsumption for LCDs..
