Now that I'm home and can check the work that has been done on
screenshots for the Impress Guide, I have some comments.
Looking at Chapter 3, I'm sorry to say that IMO the contrast between
text and background color is poor. I find these difficult to see
onscreen and IMO they do not print well in black and white. What do
others think about the contrast?
Other than that issue, I find only a few problems.
Figure 4 (Special Characters dialog box) has the upper left-hand
"character" selected, but that character is blank, so both places on the
dialog box that show the selected chracter are blank. Most of the shots
in this chapter are fine in terms of content, although I think the ones
on fonts should probably have one of tne "Liberation" fonts selected,
not "Bitstream Charter".
The labels on Figure 22 (The Table Toolbar) have numbers that are much
too large in comparison to the text around them, and the arrows are much
too heavy. (The numbers on the original picture are also too large.)
BTW, the note in the instructions about the recommended maximum width of
screenshots is out of date and I will change or remove it. It was
related to a page width/margin combination that is not longer in use.
It's now okay to make a screenshot the full width of the text area of
the page, when necessary.
