[libreoffice-design] [Vote] Consistent theme for screenshots

Hi all,

there have been lots of mail in this thread [1] about the advantages and 
disadvantaged of a recommendation for a consistent theme for screenshots 
covering documentation screenshots as well as marketing screenshots.

During the discussion several people agreed on a proposal by Jean 
compromising between readability on greylevel printing and branding 
language compliance in colored online doc versions or marketing material.

It is based on the Clearlooks theme (on GNOME, ports to KDE and Windows 
XP available too) with a definite font with weight and size (Liberation 
bold 11 pt for window titles) and adds a LibreOffice palette color 
(Libre Green 2) for highlighted areas like windows headers.

If you want to establish a recommendation to use this modified theme for 
screenshots, please add "+1" here:


Others want to propose a broad variety of different themes on 
screenshots in order to show the diversity of LibreOffice and it's 
possibility to be installed on different platforms in the documentation 
screenshots.

They fear that new contributors might turn away when they find out, that 
there is a recommendation how to create screenshots for documentation 
and marketing.

If you prefer a way without caring about recommendations, just creating 
the screenshots you like, please add your "+1" here:


A second question has been raised by Marc inside the thread:
He asked for a unified cursor style to be included in thee package.

His proposal: Use a standardized cursor theme like "OpenZone white" for 
the screenshots and include this cursor in the theme for the colors.

If you agree with him on the cursor/pointers, please sign here for a 
second time with "+1":


On the other hand I think that most platforms provide similar pointers 
and cursors, so this part doesn't need to be included in this voting. 
I'd propose a more inclusive wiki page including a recommendation to use 
a consistent cursor. "-1"

So you have two votes - I hope you understand what I mean...

Best regards

Bernhard
