In Courier New, at least, that would look more symmetrical with two
underscores...
And maybe something that'll look more "continuous" from the edge of the
screen, too.. :)

Something that looks continuous from the top/bottom, too.. hehehe

How about bricks:

Or "angle bricks"..

A quick pattern, from the wood panneling on our living room wall...

  /  /  /'./  /  /  /  /  /
 /  /  /  /  /  /  /'./  / 
/'./  /  /  /  /  /  /  /  

A larger version:

   /   /   /   /   /   /   /'-./   /
  /   /   /'-./   /   /   /   /   /
 /   /   /   /   /'-./   /   /   / 
/`-./   /   /   /   /   /   /   /  

A larger version with shorter panels:

   /`-./   /   /   /   /
  /   /   /'-./   /   / 
 /   /   /   /   /'-./  
/   /   /   /   /   /   

The small one with shorter panels (looks better for the small one..)

  /  /  /'./  /  /  /  /
./  /  /  /  /'./  /  /'
/  /'./  /  /  /  /'./  

That's all I can think of right now...
