Designing Backgrounds
One secret to designing good
backgrounds for your Web pages is to
make them subtle and unobtrusive.
This is particularly important if the
background is used behind text. You
can lighten patterns using the Edit
menu > Fade command, to make
them more suitable for displaying
behind text.
