+
+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
+'xcf' and don't violate copyright.
+
+4. Window Managers
+desktop-base is being used by GNOME/metacity only, but it's
+ready to be the default artwork package for Debian.
+
+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.
