Upload the image files to %TFTPPATH%\Desktops\95x28x1.
Modify or create the List.xml file in the %TFTPPATH%\Desktops\95x28x1 folder to include the following lines, where image.png is the name of your image file:
<CiscoIPPhoneImageList>
<ImageItem Image="TFTP:Desktops/95x28x1/image.png"
URL="TFTP:Desktops/95x28x1/image.png" />
