Re: [libreoffice-design] KDE and Gnome theme design for use of screenshots

Hi Marc, all,

thank you very much for posting this topic here.

I haven't been aware, but this seems to be something we should 
definitively be involved.

In my understanding a common "look&feel" for all LibO screenshots in all 
the areas they are used (documentation, website, marketing material and 
press sources ...) is important for our visual identity.

The necessity for installing a different theme to create screenshots is 
a hurdle I'd like to avoid if possible.

I don't know if the XP-Silver theme has so much advantages over existing 
themes (perhaps even standard themes) on KDE and Gnome desktops, that it 
is worthwhile to install a different theme.

Unfortunately a standard Windows theme will not be able to be used 
because of the unsolved legal problems with Windows EULA [1] - and I 
don't want to allow Microsoft to sue us some day when we caused them to 
lose more market share and they search for possibilities to harm us.

As I think this topic should include different teams in the LibreOffice 
community, I'll start a new thread and invite the teams to join our 
discussion.
