The originals are gradients intended to suggest a

sent you show up as gradients for me, just very dark ones. It's possible
that a differently-adjusted monitor would hide the variation.
Try the attached—is it still dead black for you, or is the gradient visible now?
The lightest colour is still quite a dark grey (#404040), but much lighter than
the ones in the first set.
My eyesight no longer is sharp anymore. One of the effects of aging that
I have not accepted gracefully. Once upon a time people called me eagle
eyes. :(
When viewed in an image viewer the default_black2.png looks flat. Oddly,
when tested in the panel as a background image I then see a downward
gradient similar to the original default.png. A keeper. :)
Noting the difference caused by the image viewers and my vision, I
looked again at your first two images. The black_glass.png still looks
flat to me in the panel, but if I look real close I see the top and
bottom are a smidgen lighter than the middle. I think the color black
causes a loss of the curvature effect unless the top and bottom were a
lighter gradient.
I can barely see downward gradients with the first default_black.png.
The newer default_black2.png looks more like the original default.png.
Doug Y. created a nice grey_glass.png (refer to a previous list reply).
Another keeper. :)
Seems we have the following new images:
default_black2.png (you)
grey_glass.png (Doug)
black_flat.png (me)
To provide consistent naming, for submittal I will rename your
default_black2.png to black_shade.png, similar to the name black_flat.png.
