I was wondering if anyone on the design team could help out?
The documentation team has adopted the following "theme" (XP-Silver
theme)[1] for their use of screenshots. I was wondering if anyone could
help in trying to make this theme more "user friendly" in the
installation procedure. If you download the theme from the link on that
page[2], it gives you installation procedures for Ubuntu. I am not sure
if the directions on that page work for all of the latest versions of
Ubuntu, however, the problem with the installation procedures is that it
is not as easily accomplished on any other Linux distros (I use Mageia
1). I tried to install it, but it never quite got the same results as
the examples on the wiki page examples.
So, I was wondering if anyone on the design team could help in making
this a theme that we could post on the http://kde-look.org and
http://gnome-look.org as a theme. This would make the "LibO screenshot"
theme available to more distros and make it more seamless. I did join
the KDE forums and got some feedback from one person on the forums[3],
but even there, I just could not seem to make this work. (BTW ... my
version of Mageia 1 uses KDE 4.6.3)
I was hoping that if we could make this theme more easy to install for
our user base, then we could perhaps enlist more people to help out with
screenshots. I am particularly interested in helping out with taking
screenshots for both our website and documentation needs. I know that I
could install Ubuntu, but to me it would seem to make more sense to
adopt/modify/create a theme that is more easily installed by a larger
number of members on Linux distro's than to limit a theme to those who
are only on Ubuntu. We could get more help by making it universal.
Could anyone help out? Comments and help are greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Marc
