looking for a background image.

Hiya! I've been away for a while, but I'm thinking about returning to EQ2 and was looking forward to cutting together an interface (again - lost my old UI files). At one time, I'd had these fantastic window backgrounds that were simple grayscale ivy leaves. I know I borrowed them from another interface on this site, but can't seem to find them anywhere anymore. Does anyone know which interface I'm thinking of, or does anyone have anything that might fit the bill? I've found a few images via google that seem like they'll work for me, but if I remember correctly, the backgrounds I used were of the "repeating" variety, so that it wasn't apparent where one tile stopped and the next started; everything I've found on google doesn't repeat very well.

Thanks for any help!

Leaves make me think of the night elf set, that has leaves around the borders.

Regarding the backgrounds just note that EQ2 does not tile background images, it streches them.

I found a picture of my old interface, attached. I noticed that there's a button in one corner that appears to say "Tablets II" on it, so at least SOME elements came from there. Maybe the backgrounds did! I'll take a peek.

You know, I do seem to remember that backgrounds get stretched, now that you mention it. Thanks for the reminder! Also, I thought "nightelf", too, but that's not it.

Found it! It's from an EQ1 interface - Mav's Ranger UI. I must have grabbed the green background from there and converted it to B&W on my own.

Your b&w conversion looks better.

Thanks.

I remember, towards then end of my last foray into EQ2, I was using quite a few profitUI pieces, too. Glad to see it's still alive and well!
