Can someone tell me what this default desktop/background that I am seeing when I install Intrepid is supposed to be ?

Whose choice was this to be the default background for Intrepid ?

I think someone needs to have a council with them !!!

Thanks.

If that is supposed to be an Ibex, then I think someone needs some art lessons. I just don't seem to see it !!!

u need to look harder and as for them needing art lessons i very much disagree - art doesnt mean photorealism......maybe they arent the ones who need art lessons?

It's a close-up pic of a barn floor after an IBEX hoof slips in the mud.

I really like the new wall, better than Hardy. If was just a picture of an Ibex it'd be rubbish, but this is nice and subtle.

I've never really taken much notice, I always change the default wallpaper anyway. On any Operating System.

Now that I know that, I have more respect for it.

You guys have got it all wrong - it's a coffee-ring on a dirty table. OBVIOUSLY!

I actually really like Intrepid's wallpaper, but I preferred Hardy's.

EDIT: Woops, sorry Skitzware. I guess that's what I get for only reading the first page :P

Huh.
I thought, in the context of the wallpaper, it was a coffee stain in the shape of an Ibex - not one or the other, but both.

Yeah, I liked it a lot better before I realised that it wasn't a skull.

I imagined it was more like a cave painting of an ibex. I quite like it.

+1...my 1st impression, exactly, very like the lascaux cave art.

Wow, so other people thought it was a skull on first glance? Someone filed a bug saying it was morbid (just like the folks who thought the not-anatomically-colored-to-begin-with heron was bleeding), and I chalked it up to needing a psychiatrist due to some childhood trauma causing them to see death in everything.
