Quite a few folks have sent stuff in. Now, after looking at so
many screenshots and trying to evaluate them for content I've
realized a few things..
1) We're absolutely going to have to insist on 800x600 resolution.
Thanks for all the ones so far, but really the only usable ones are the 800x600. (There are exceptions, such as Mike's Quicktime
one that can be resized nicely.)
2) Screenshots of an application doing something are the way to
go. For instance, the one Mike just sent me showing Adobe's SVG
plug-in in IE is WAY cool. Unfortunately it's not usable because
of the resolution. Even a pull-down menu being pulled down is enough.
3) Cluttered desktops suck. You don't need to have 3 terminal
windows, Mozilla, and everything else in the background. For the most part I think the screenshots have followed that rule closely.
on all of Rick_Romero's submissions? Are they secret?
Can I make a suggestion as well that complicated desktop background pictures
are unhelpful ... they make the file a lot bigger without contributing anything.
That said,for apps which you can run to occupy all available screen space this
is not a problem.
