I can but it's not magic -- I just take some background image I like, one
that's not too wild, and reduce the brightness/contrast a bunch.  The result
is something that's not black, but sort of darkish; I find that it feels far
more "open" than a pure-color background of any color.

[BTW, what looks good seems to _strongly_ depend on your monitor -- I can't
use the same one at work and home, even when I was using a CRT in both
cases.]
