Hi Bernhard,

thanks for managing this ...

 It is based on the Clearlooks theme (on GNOME, ports to KDE and Windows

 bold 11 pt for window titles) and adds a LibreOffice palette color 
 (Libre Green 2) for highlighted areas like windows headers.
 
 If you want to establish a recommendation to use this modified theme for 
 screenshots, please add +1 here:

+1

Note: I still think that LibreOffice Green 1 would be more pleasing to
the eye in the long run, but Green 2 is okay as well.


 Others want to propose a broad variety of different themes on 
 screenshots in order to show the diversity of LibreOffice and it's 
 possibility to be installed on different platforms in the documentation 
 screenshots.
 
 They fear that new contributors might turn away when they find out, that 
 there is a recommendation how to create screenshots for documentation 
 and marketing.
 
 If you prefer a way without caring about recommendations, just creating 
 the screenshots you like, please add your +1 here:

-1

Note: Guidelines help, even if there are sometimes reasons to not
enforce them (e.g. for the new features section, if only a quickly
made screenshot by a developer is available and we lack time to re-do
it.)

By the way, the question itself is a bit hard to understand - so please
guys be aware that
-1 = recommendation is good, and
+1 = no recommendation wanted.

 A second question has been raised by Marc inside the thread:
 He asked for a unified cursor style to be included in thee package.
 
 His proposal: Use a standardized cursor theme like OpenZone white for 
 the screenshots and include this cursor in the theme for the colors.
 
 If you agree with him on the cursor/pointers, please sign here for a 
 second time with +1:

-1

Changing cursor themes is an additional step and usually not required
when taking screenshots (assuming that the cursor doesn't vary too much
between the operating systems). But, if somebody adds this as an
optional recommendation and provides a package for that - why not use
it?

 On the other hand I think that most platforms provide similar pointers 
 and cursors, so this part doesn't need to be included in this voting. 
 I'd propose a more inclusive wiki page including a recommendation to use 
 a consistent cursor. -1

Cheers,
Christoph

 Hi all,
 
 there have been lots of mail in this thread [1] about the advantages and 
 disadvantaged of a recommendation for a consistent theme for screenshots 
 covering documentation screenshots as well as marketing screenshots.
 
 During the discussion several people agreed on a proposal by Jean 
 compromising between readability on greylevel printing and branding 
 language compliance in colored online doc versions or marketing material.

 So you have two votes - I hope you understand what I mean...
