+# Freedesktop Notes
+
+Notes pertaining to the `.desktop` extension and desktop entries.
+
+## Keys
+
+<https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/1.5/recognized-keys.html>
+
+## Icons
+
+<https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/icon-theme-spec/>
+
+By default, apps should look in $HOME/.icons (for backwards compatibility), in $XDG_DATA_DIRS/icons and in /usr/share/pixmaps (in that order).
+
+## Testing
+
+Run a `.desktop` file from terminal with this: 
+
+```bash
+gtk-launch gnome-system-monitor.desktop
+```
