- | ===== Special Syntax ===== | ||

- | ===== Screenshots ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Try to make screenshots that look consistent with the other previews. I (Nick) use the following setup: | ||
- | * Gtk theme: Xfce (gtk-xfce-engine git-master) | ||
- | * Xfwm: Default (xfwm4 git-master) | ||
- | * Icons: Faenza | ||
- | * Font: Bitstream Vera Sans Roman, full hinting | ||
- | |||
- | Also compress the png files before uploading, with //optipng// for example. |
