   Today out of boredom I made a new wallpaper, I think it looks pretty badass on the iPhone home screen too.

   @Max Thanks!
   @Erin hahaha yea, it happened to me too when I looked at it filling up my whole screen for a while :p But it doesn't happen to me on the iPhone…
   The pattern's made from shape layers, so I just tried sharpening it and it doesn't change anything at all, or at least I didn't notice any changes…

   You could try to flatten the layers then sharpen. But this looks nice to me.

   Oo shape layers then I know exactly what happened, your edge might be on a half pixel. If you zoom in reaaaally close until you can see the pixels pretty big and the take the direct selection tool and grab the top points of the shape... Using your arrow keys nudge until they fall on the line of a whole pixel. Haha if this makes no sense at all I'll find a tutorial or screencast but it's a pretty common issue with those pesky shapes

   @Erin yea, I know what you mean, but while making the pattern I made sure that that didn't happen. Can't show you the shape because I made a smart object for vertical and another for horizontal rectangles, it's hard to explain on text, but look, here I made one vertical and one horizontal rectangle invisible so you can see how the edges are crisp. cl.ly/7t6g Probably it's just because of the combination of colors…
