I have this grey colour background in my dashboard on my macbook pro 4,1, but on my iMac i have same colour but with small squares on. i just installed mavericks on top of my clean install, but it didn't change it to the one with squares. Which one is the right?

If you want to have iStat Pro displaying your IP address instead of "Updating…." : link

Remove the old widget from the Dashboard, then replace the old iStat Pro with the new one in :

Users / yourusername / Library / Widgets.

(~/Library/widgets).

Then add iStat Pro to the Dashboard.

OP- from my experience, this issue was present in the first beta of Mavericks where sometimes the dashboard background will revert from the squared pattern to the plain grey color seen in Mission Control, Notification Center, etc. Every once in a while, this will still happen on my MBA, and the way I fix this is to simply go to System Preferences, Mission Control, and to un-tick and re-tick the box labeled "Show Dashboard as a Space."
