A new background texture which is done by Noise + greyscale + invert, followed by blurring and embossing, and then tweaking the brightness and contrast to taste.

PassiveFTP 1.5
PassiveFTP 1.5 — PassiveFTP version 1.5.1667.19669 — minor bug-fix release — this fixes the 11-Jun-04 issue. This turned out to be GDI exhaustion by putting server-side icons in the client icon cache, and thus having to regenerate individual icons for each file on the server, each time the view changed!

I like Metal
Rolled my own textures for the brushed metal look : light and dark brushed aluminium. The brushed metal trick is Noise + greyscale + invert + motion blur; then cut a chunk out the middle.

Fade to Black…
Fade To Black… — version 0.8 — dead simple image manipulation program in Java SDK 1.4. Run using
java -cp fadetoblack.zip com.ravnanadtines.FadeToBlack
(with jre, jrew or javaw instead
of java as appropriate), where fadetoblack.zip is the
download archive. I used it to do the fade on the top-left masthead image
(of the Louvre pyramid, in Paris) on the linked sites.
