Sorry, it took me a while - busy busy :D I only uploaded the three I made with the upstream GNOME artwork, I could upload the openSUSE ones but - they're openSUSE branded so I guess that wouldn't be a good idea.

So your goal with this website is to create a site with official screenshots of GNOME? That's not a bad idea - of course user- screenshots can be found on gnome-look.org plenty but official ones can be very useful. I would however just put them on thew wiki that Stormy mentioned, unless you want to use this as some marketing tool? If so, where would it fit in exactly? The GNOME website could use a screenshot tour page, that might be a good spot... and also I attached it in this email. I need feedback from you, so any opinion is really important to me, because I'm a newbie in this. If you can help me with the writing content will be perfect. Thanks, Jos!

I would advice to export the icons as bitmaps and then add them to the document as such, that way you can be sure that they render correctly. Make sure to embed them rather than link them though. Another way is to try and use simpler icons. - Andreas -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
