Consistent UI theme for screenshots

Sorry for not following the thread, but since the changeover of mailing
list names, Gmane still won't let me post to the list by replying to an
existing message, and it is getting really annoying.

My only remark in regard to choosing a theme, other than the usual ones
of it being printable in shades of grey if required, visible to the
visually impaired, etc, is that the choice of theme for screenshots
should be available on ALL platforms to which we cater.

Hi :slight_smile:
I thought Gmane had been sorted out last week. Are you using Windows and need
to update the app?? (seems unlikely on both counts). Can you add in "global."
or copy&paste the entire email address into a text-file that you can keep open?
Sorry both fairly bad work-arounds that you have probably already considered.

I think it's the Gmane end that is having troubles. Can you contact them? I've
forwarded this to Florian who is excellent at sorting stuff out but is extremely
busy right now and has been for the last few weeks so contacting Gmane (?) might
be the fastest route.

As I've mentioned on the de-discuss list, the Clearlooks theme (the one
I like the most) is available for several desktop environments and
Windows. See also the (very short) article in Wikipedia:

I've tested several modifications on the theme and made them available on the wiki. You can check them out here:

Could we keep this discussion going on the design mailing list? Otherwise the discussion gets too fragmented and difficult to manage.

Alex, I am also on Gmane and, yes, it is annoying that it is not working still. I will put a note of this again on the website list and maybe someone can get the Gmane people working/fixing the problem.

GMANE still has problems, unfortunately - I pinged them again today. Sorry for the inconveniences!
