+1. Images
+
+1.1. Emblems
+/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/emblems/emblem-debian.png
+/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/emblems/emblem-debian.icon
+
+1.2. Pixmaps
+/usr/share/pixmaps/debian-security.png
+
+1.3. Splash and Wallpapers
+
+We have just two splash and two wallpapers for each window manager (not
+considering the originals in .xcf).
+One pair (splash / wallpaper) will be used during development
+cycle (testing/sid) and other to release.
+
+/usr/share/images/desktop-base/gnome-default-splash.png (symlink)
+/usr/share/images/desktop-base/gnome-default-wallpaper.png (symlink)
+
+/usr/share/images/desktop-base/splash/gnome-debian-sid-splash.png
+/usr/share/images/desktop-base/wallpapers/gnome-debian-sid-wp.png
+
+Before Etch we will add the images below and the symlinks above will
+point to this pair:
+/usr/share/images/desktop-base/splash/gnome-debian-etch-splash.png
+/usr/share/images/desktop-base/wallpapers/gnome-debian-etch-wp.png
+
+1.4. Boot splash
+
+desktop-base provides a theme for splashy, in
+/usr/share/splashy/themes/moreblue-orbit. Previously the theme was in
+/etc/splashy but since splashy people move the themes to /usr/share and
+replaced the folder by a symlink, we had to follow. If you modified the
+theme before, you should be able to find it in /etc/splashy.dpkg-old.
+
+If you installed splashy before desktop-base, the MoreBlue-Orbit theme will
+be automatically configured. But if you install splashy after desktop-base,
+you'll need to run the following command to enable it:
+
+# dpkg-reconfigure desktop-base
+
+2. Desktop files
+/usr/share/desktop-base/debian-homepage.desktop
+/usr/share/desktop-base/debian-reference.desktop
+/usr/share/desktop-base/debian-security.desktop
+
+3. Changing desktop-base images
+
+We need professional looking Debian artwork in the
+Desktop. If you want to help changing some desktop-base
+images, that would be good consider the following notes:
+
+- The swirl Debian logo is red;
+- The Debian font is Poppl Laudation Condensed (unfortunately,
+  commercial font)
+- Blue (#5F92C9 and some others) fits with GNOME default
+  clearlooks theme that we use in your default desktop
+  environment and looks good in KDE too;
+- Black and White are welcome colors too.
+
+If you've suggestions for a better artwork, create or edit
+the images and open a 'wishlist' bug against desktop-base in our
+Bug Tracking System (http://bugs.debian.org/). Please attach the
+'svg' or 'xcf' and don't violate copyright.
+
+4. Window Managers
+desktop-base is used by GNOME/KDE/XFCE.
+
+If you're responsible for a WM in Debian and wants to use
+desktop-base artwork or add your own image (wallpaper, splash,
+whatever) use the layout described above and send your patch
+through the Bug Tracking System to us.
