Based on your comments in this thread I want to start a new thread for a 
vote on this topic.

People should vote *either* for a consistent theme based on Jean's 
proposal: http://go.mail-archive.com/xUDsiIBlv-ZqBlXMjn971KD2YDw=

*or* against any proposal to use a consistent theme for screenshots.

Based on this decision there should be a wiki page describing how 
screenshots are recommended to be taken.

Existing screenshots should only be replaced when time allows it (for 
example when the respective chapter or book is worked over).

Do we need to add anything else?

Are these options to vote on sufficient to consider the different 
opinions mentioned here?

I'd like to wait for another 24 hours for comments and start the voting 
tomorrow.

Best regards

Bernhard
