[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Add appdata file and make it known to Makefile.am (#1142)

[badshah400]

>Which distro and desktop environment do we provide the shots for?  KDE
looks different to Gnome to Cinnamon to Unity and that difference is
increased by differing themes used by the distros even for the same
desktop.​

Seriously, you don't have to do anything. The appdata file in this PR already makes use of the screenshots on geany's home page. One could ask the same questions as to why those screenshots rather than some other screenshots are on that webpage. As long as these are screenshots of the app running on Linux, this should not be a problem. The screenshots are meant to be upstream advertisements, **they aren't meant to show how the app looks in the user's distro/whatever.** If you want to showcase how your app looks in different desktop env, the screenshots should reflect that, for instance.
