Unobtrusive wallpapers ?

Have'nt had a wallpaper in years, but I see a lot of people using windows transparency over a background, which looks nice I must say.

I've been browsing deviant art for the last 15 minutes and I'm having a hard time finding some artwork that works nicely for this purpose.
Basically anything with high contrast and edgy shapes makes the text hard to read...

Got something nice to share ?

Try Fyre, in extra.  Makes some good abstract backgrounds.  Endless settings to play with, too.
