Back to colour schemes again, Jean???
I don't think the colour scheme used for the screen captures
matters very much. The screen captures in the existing books have been
made on a variety of operating systems and themes, but I think the end
result looks quite acceptable.
Of course, I have my personal preferences. For example, I prefer
something that looks good with the blue used for the headings in the
docs. To my eyes, that means either a blue or a silver-gray theme. I
find the Windows XP "blue" theme too bright and garish for my taste, so
when I was still using Windows, I picked the "silver" theme. Now that
I'm using Ubuntu Linux, I pick a theme with blues and grays, rather than
the default Ubuntu browns. Then I try to find a plain theme that looks
fairly generic, such as "Clearlooks" in Ubuntu.
That makes a lot of sense. I was just thinking of consistency across all
published documents when I wrote to you.
I'm not too sure about using OO.o dialogues in documentation: it is, I
would think, very unlikely that the average Windows user would make the
change and this could prove confusing to them. The average Linux user is
a lot less average and could cope with the Windows dialogues. Just a
thought, although I've just switched to the OO.o format for preference.
