Okay let me re-iterate my take on this. I believe that taking screenshots only of OOo cannot be construed as including things from the OS. Now I have thought about the themes that could be used. For example, I use http://www.xpde.com/ on the computer my wife uses. Looks just like XP stock theme. So themes become a don't care too. So how to be consistent when collecting screenshots? I suggest the following: 1. Use only the default icon set in Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > View > User Interface > Icon size and style > (the size wanted> and Default. 2.
