In their top nav, click on "specials" and in the resulting page's left hand nav, under "pixel patterns", click on the left icon. There are tons of great ones to choose from. HOWEVER: give credit where credit is due, link back to their site, and e-mail the designer. I'm sure they'd love to know.

Inhabitat.com is a great site. Period.
