How can I create a thin striped background / layer in Photoshop?

[coffee_king]

Hey All
I'm looking to create a thin grey striped layer to use as a background in Photoshop like the image below.
Anyone got a fast method of doing this? I need it cover an entire A4 sized page, so some way that allows me to do it easily in one go would be great.
Many thanks

This is one request needed thinking over. QUITE HARD TO DO, THO....

Create your document size. create new layer.

With the text tool set at ARIAL and with a point size of 60 ( or any font with a a single straight line for the small L ), press down on the L key until you have a single row of small L's over the entire width of the page.

RASTERIZE the text layer.

CTRL+T ...... transform/stretch those dang pixels to the entire length of the page and rotate the layer image to your preference. HIT ENTER.

Lower layer opacity to your needs.

If that doesn't work you gotta do it the long way....lol...

Hope this nutty idea helps.

Easiest way would be to define a pattern with a grey diagonal line.

How is this SINGLE grey diagonal line equally and quickly copied so that it features all over the background?

Make a new file 10px by 10 px.
Draw the grey diagonal line
Go to edit>define Pattern

Close

In your working file> fill a layer with white
in the fx menu>pattern overlay>select the newly created pattern
