Description
EDIT October 9, 2008: Script has been updated to work in GIMP 2.6 (the newest stable version). It should also work in GIMP 2.4. If you have a previous version of this script, please delete it to avoid conflicts.Let me know if you run into any trouble with the script.
This script will make a "tech-style" background using the steps described in the tutorial here: fence-post.deviantart.com/art/β¦
Click on the Download link to get the script (a text file) for GIMP 2.4 and save it to your GIMP scripts folder (ie....C
rogram FilesGIMP-2.Xsharegimp2.0scripts) and then go to Filters > Script-Fu > Refresh Scripts. This script will NOT work in GIMP 2.2. You can find that one here: fencepost.gimpdome.com/Scriptsβ¦
On an open image, just go to Filters > Render > Tech Background... and a window will appear allowing you to choose the Background Color and Block Size.
Enjoy!
Let me know if you have any trouble or suggestions for improvement.

Hi, I like your background scripts! I downloaded this one today and used it, but the image I have is too big, then the gitter is almost not visible. I tried resizing the background and this was better, but I think I have to sharpen and enhance contrast... it is not really what I expected... Now my figures look like they are in the bathroom...
Thanks and best regards,
Mayra

i checked ALL my custom scripts [a lot, believe me], and i realised i actually never use the most of them, and that most of them werent working anymore...
so asked google to find me the scripts i needed, and i found them...
but[!]: they are in chinese 
so i opened the scripts files, changes the menu options [using the old scripts as reference >> works properly]
but after restarting the gimp, they wont show up anymore!
i noticed they included this as menu location: "
can you tell me what is wrong? maybe it is also better to continue via Notes, or this deviation could get too full of comments XD
huh it doesn't work for me and I've tried both versions..
