I tried and tested true form "its all gone 'orribly wrong guv"

Using my designs I've created a one of many backgrounds for my site. But then I ran into problems. My background is set to 800x600 (to be honest it should be a little smaller to allow for the menu and scroll bars of the web browser, but that's by the by) and in 800x600 resolution it looks great! but the thing is at higher resolutions (namely 1280x1024 which is what my machine is set at) it just looks odd, like its floating in a sea of white.



I tried to give my background a border but it still looked crap.



I could fix the screen size but as stated here by some more forum monkeys, it just plain rude to do that!

No, i need to remember what i have learned from white graphics and stick to it. My problem was that I wanted white space, but instead I filled it with texture. Back to the drawing board and keep it simple stupid!
