I'm trying it as the background now and when you have the black border of
the screen around it rather than the white border the browser supplies it
looks a bit brighter so I don't think it's too "rainy-day". The actual
colour is #8395ac for those who want to try it without getting out a
colour picker.
  
The gradient is an abomination. The big problem I had with it (aside from
taste issues) was that I found that the contrast of some icons and text
could be usable at one end of the screen, but not at the other. e.g. I
found fine white text could become hard to read at the bottom (especially
on a crappy nine year old monitor).
