Hey,
If we add a feature that changes the GUI of one of the existing screenshots in the manual, should we make a new screenshot using whatever theme/font/icons/etc that we have or is it better just to leave it
until
release and do them all uniformly at once?
Will "we" remember? I won't.
IGRC[1] Enrico usually re-does the screenshots at release time, using
As Colomban said, that's the way how it went so far. A year or a bit more ago, we discussed how to proceed with updating screenshots when preparing releases. I don't remember what was the result but the mailing list archives surely will remember. I don't mind to continue updating the screenshots in preparation of a release. But don't take this as I want to stick with the red theme, I'd be also fine with using something more neutrally.
since we are close to a new release, this topic comes back to my mind.
AFAIK we still don't have a general resolution on this, do we?
I'd suggest we use a default installation of one of the major distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora) and make the screenshots with their default theme (Xfce or Gnome?).
Why not.
While at it, we could also update the screenshots on the website, which are dated from 2010, Geany 0.19 :).
+1 :)
What do you think?
I'm fine with it, and I can do the screenshots from Debian, or any distro having a live CD that can run in a VM (or anything actually but I'd have to install that in a VM first ^^).
I'd personally go for stock Gnome under Debian, but that's only because I could easily do that (by starting a fresh session and done). OTOH I guess distros like Ubuntu or Fedora have a more eye-appealing default theme, so…
So anyway, I don't care much and can do the shots whatever being the distro, I just may have to create a VM for them, but it's really not a big deal.
(<dreaming>We could even put a Qemu-KVM image of that installation on the server so everybody could take the screenshots by downloading and starting the image.</dreaming>)
Probably also doable, but may be a little overkill for a few screenshots :)
Cheers, Colomban
