    Proposed for moving to community.kde.org
    It has been proposed that this page should be moved to the community.kde.org wiki for the following reason:

    Archive under https://community.kde.org/Promo/Guidance/Branding

    Wallpaper

    A default wallpaper should:

    • be consistent in terms of style with the other desktop artwork.
    • appear rather neutral in terms of taste. In other words a default wallpaper should be appropriate for both corporate and home use.
    • use the official color palette.
    • not be distracting. This means that it shouldn't be too colorful and shades shouldn't change too rapidly. This is especially valid for the upper left area.
    • be designed with the icons and kicker in mind. Ideally a default wallpaper should show just a single color on the upper 30%, the left 30% of the screen and the kicker area. The reason is that people place their icons in these places and having a single color without any other shapes and picture elements makes it easier to recognize them. Simplicity in these areas is very important.

    • license?

    Splash Screen

    A default splash screen should:

    • be consistent in terms of style and color palette with the default wallpaper.
    • appear rather neutral in terms of taste. In other words a default splash screen should be appropriate for both corporate and home use.
    • use the official color palette.
    • use icons from the Oxygen icon theme
    • must NOT use icons that are associated with a particular platform or distribution (e.g. a tux icon).
    • sizes?
    • license?
    • templates needed
