[Foresight-distro] Remastered background

Hey, I finally got around to making a page[1] about the new background I did
and I'm interested in feedback, especially changes you make or changes you
think should be made. This is my first attempt and while I like the minimalist
look I know some people don't so any changes to make it less 'flat' would be
great.

In true Foresight style the backgrounds have already been added to
gnome-backgrounds=:1-devel (and replaced the original! I'm not sure if
this was intentional or not. You can get it here[2]). Something that
might not be immediately obvious is that its transparent, meaning you can use
gnome-background-properties to change the colour to one you like. I gave some
examples using the Tango colour set and those are the ones that are used in the
package. Personally I've been been using #006CAE for a blue and #005860 for a
"green".

I'm off skiing for a week so comments to the list or the wiki please ;)

Cheers.
