I don't usually recommend messing about with system files and images, but here's an easy and safe tweak for Lion. You know that grey fabric background of Mission Control? You can change it to whatever you like!

I replaced pirelli.jpg altogether with a 1680x1050 wallpaper, and it seems like Dashboard is using the full wallpaper as the background instead of repeating patterns.
Also, this means I have a separate wallpaper for Dashboard than Mission Control.

Anyone find the Login wallpaper location yet? It's ugly...
Thanks, Tony!

@.@ my ranking is "noob" lol...
 
Too cool! Thanx Tony!
