I actually think screenshot is a boring idea. The about page should
describe functionalities with related screenshots already. like they
are for people who only care about the looks


Maybe this will surprise you but most people, which are non- programmers and have no insight into software's workings and how it is developed *will* judge software by its look, because that is how they experience the software. I know this from first hand experience with our customers. Only if the software shows severe disfunctionality people will complain about something else than the look. This is one of the reasons why so many folks still stick to Windows in their day to day using and don't complain to much. The opposite is also true: software must be really outstanding in functionality to make people forget how it looks.

So I think screenshots are a 'must have'.
