No, I don't mind doing it. I just need to be clear what the goal is and what
the parameters are. Although I won't be happy if I rename files and find out
later that they're going to be replaced.
Here you seem to be asking me to make the screenshots. But in a different
message, I thought you said that CR had volunteered. Maybe I misunderstood
somewhere? But I don't have a very pretty theme color.
How about if I make a list of all the ones that need to be replaced, and give
the list to C R. Then he could make them with the default Windows theme, and
either upload them himself, or send to me and I'll upload?
Not sure about developers spending time reviewing the manual at hackfest, when
time is at such a premium, with travel expenses and all. It seems like after
hackfest would be better. Plus do we really need reviews from advanced users?
New users would seem better for sources of reviews?
But I can finish my part before hackfest. If C R has time to make them, I'm
sure we can finish the whole thing by that time. Or even if you want me to try
making another user account, to find out if it could use a different theme.
Then I could make the screenshots.
All best,
brynn

If you're saying that Inkscape is supposed to detect what kind of screen

something I've never heard of, or experienced.
- According to the program code, if width/height > 1.65, Inkscape will
switch to 'Wide' mode. You could try it out by removing / renaming your
preferences file. I suspect you have moved it from your old computer.
Let's stick to that for screenshots, it makes sense. If it doesn't work,
it's a bug.
It would be helpful if you could continue with renaming the images that
do not need to be changed - i.e. the tool icons, or drawings without any
text or menus shown.
I haven't started yet. I don't want to duplicate or waste work energy.
It seems like it would be less work all around, to just give appropriate
names to the new screens and graphics, than to rename them all now, and
upload whole new images to relace them later. Or am I missing something
about the plans and processes?

Can you go through the images, and rename all the files that will not be
deleted, so they will be understandable when others look at them at
Hackfest time?
Wouldn't I need to work with C R (or whoever), to determine which are
kept and which are replaced? It seems like some level of coordination
and communication should happen for this, rather than 2 different people
going at it separately in different ways, possibly making incompatible
decisions?
- CR is there for talking, but I trust that you can figure out if an
image is just a tool icon, or contains a drawing without text, and does
not need to be re-created. You might even use gimp to cut off some
French text. This would speed up manual creation quite a bit.
Improvements can be done later.
By the way, why does it need to be ready for hackfest? I was thinking
the end of the year for a target publishing date, not 3 weeks!
- Ready as in 'translated' and ready to work on and test out for people
speaking English.
Kind Regards,
Maren
