# DeveloperWiki:Branding Proposals

# Introduction

This article is part of the DeveloperWiki. Feel free to add any suggestions or concerns.

# Separate branding from upstream packages

Create a separate package of artwork for upstream packages, including:

- login themes
- desktop environment additions (wallpapers, icons, etc.)
- splash screens

Include post-install notes informing the user where to find the theme and where to modify its preference.

#### Pros

- Upstream packages are delivered as-is
- Users can choose whether to download Arch-branded content

#### Cons

- Users will have to modify theme settings manually

# Package Naming Scheme

If artwork is separated from upstream packages, we should have a consistent naming scheme, for example:

- archlinux-artwork
- archlinux-wallpaper
- archlinux-themes-gdm
- archlinux-themes-kdm
- archlinux-themes-slim
- archlinux-themes-xfce

# Essential Artwork

Provide at least 1 style-neutral (minimalist) theme for the standard packages:

#### Completed

- Framebuffer logo
- SLiM
- Qingy
- Splashy
- GDM
- KDM

#### Pending

- XDM
