Thanks for doing this Sigrid
One comment is that maybe next time, not have the spell check on for
these. It just make it a little more difficult for evaluation. We really
need the comments from the documentation team people on the look and
feel for our documents and especially for print.
I did those screenshots in a very quick session, just for testing purposes. I
don't plan to reuse any of those pictures for the user guides. On the ones for
the guides I will disable the spellcheck. :)
At this point, we
should try to accommodate the comments from Jean Hollis Weber on this
topic and try to find a theme OR create our own theme for this purpose.
Maybe none of the "pre-packaged" themes will work for what we need.
I'm not sure that I agree with your statement here. Bernhards goal was to have a
theme that is widely available, that looks nice and modern. If we can modify one
of the prepackaged themes that would mean, that many people have access to it
-> hopefully more people able to help with screenshots for the different
materials needed (website, docu, marketing). Also, the pre-packaged themes are
easy to install (see your own post about your difficulties with getting the XP
silver theme to work with your KDE).

Hi Sigrid
I think the goal of the theme was to have one suitable for screenshots
and for print. This is the tool we are seeking for the website and
documentation team. Of course looking modern and clean would be also
involved in this search.
My point about creating our own theme, if we cannot find a suitable one,
is that we can develop it, maintain it, and submit it to the
kde-look.org and gnome-look.org sites and this will make it available
through the "KDE/Gnome system settings" for anyone's use. It just means
that we would be in control of the theme and all of its accompanying
components (mouse cursor, colours etc) but that if we chose, we could
issue updates and not be dependent on any other individuals for the
upkeep. Not to mention being in control of any licencing issues with the
theme.
IMO, if we do find a theme, if at all possible through the design team,
we could decide to adopt the theme, and, if the licence permits it,
rename it, and, from then on, take on the task of maintaining the theme.
This way, again, we are in control of our quality assurance as far as
the screenshots are concerned.
From a marketing point of view, if the theme were to incorporate the
"LibreOffice" name, it would be a plus for us, from the point of view of
branding. People would then talk about adopting the "LibreOffice" theme
or "LibreOffice ScreenShot" theme or ... Getting our name out in the
wild will get us more brand recognition.
Cheers
Marc
