Note: I still think that LibreOffice Green 1 would be more pleasing to
the eye in the long run, but Green 2 is okay as well.

Note: Guidelines help, even if there are sometimes reasons to not
enforce them (e.g. for the new features section, if only a "quickly
made" screenshot by a developer is available and we lack time to re-do
it.)

By the way, the question itself is a bit hard to understand - so please
guys be aware that
"-1 = recommendation is good", and
"+1 = no recommendation wanted".

Changing cursor themes is an additional step and usually not required
when taking screenshots (assuming that the cursor doesn't vary too much
between the operating systems). But, if somebody adds this as an
optional recommendation and provides a package for that - why not use
it?
