Hi all,

Marc mentioned a certain UI theme for screenshots in the documentation
team [1], there is another thread on [hidden email] about the best UI
theme for their documentation [2], Italo wants screenshots that serve
our Windows users [3] and the wiki recommends screenshots for the
website with a different theme [4].

In my eyes it is quite important to find a solution that fits all our
needs in documentation (and its localizations), marketing material,
website, press kit and any other place we need screenshots.

Consistency is a relevant part of Visual Identity and therefore I'd like
to ask you all provide your thoughts on

1) how such a UI theme should look like

2) what other conditions should be met

3) which existing UI theme would serve best as standard for screenshots

Do you think these 3 questions could lead to a consensus on a theme to
be used? Should we add more points?

I'd like to see this discussion to take place here on the list - and
send invitation mails to the teams involved in such a decision
(documentation [Sigrid told be she would take this part], website,
marketing, accessibility, projects, de-discuss) to join this discussion.

Feel free to spread the message to any other team you think should be
involved in this topic.

Best regards Bernhard
