Re: Urgent - Screenshots needed

[Joey Ferwerda <joeyferweda gmail com>]

A rather simple way to make good screenshots, is using a VM system (may i suggest Virtualbox?)

Just install the gnome livedisk and update to the most recent gnome, or install a random distro and use the vanilla theme from the art git.

Hi Jos,

I agree that we need more and better screenshots. Having a nice page on gnome.org would be good too.

I put the screenshots I found on the wiki here: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/MarketingMaterial/Posters

I'm thinking this would be a great project for the people applying for the Outreach project that need to do a project as part of their application. I'm going to go try to talk one of them into it now!

In general, having a page with some nice screenshots (compare for example what
KDE has here: http://kde.org/workspaces/plasmadesktop/ ) would be very
helpful. I am trying to create a 'slideshow' with cool GNOME screenshots but
there are a few things making it harder:
- no good 'official' screenshots on gnome.org (that I know off) and most
screenshots I can find are not with the default GNOME look and feel
- GNOME3 screenshots are a bit outdated.

I have installed a clean GNOME install on openSUSE but that's also not
vanilla, with the modified panel setup and all. It's fine for openSUSE promo
purpose, of course - but not for general GNOME. I will share what I have made
once it is done - but note that it will be openSUSE, not vanilla.
