KOffice Web Site Screenshots
This page describes how to prepare screenshots for the KOffice website.
Preparation
To keep a professional and consistent look, it would be better for the screenshots to be in Plastik style, Plastik window decorations and KDE default colours.
To set this up, from "System Settings" (which you can find in your K-menu) and click "Theme Manager", choose "Plastik", and click "Apply". This should set your window decorations, widget style, and colour scheme to the KDE defaults.
For more information, see the KDE Screenshot guidelines.
Image sizes
Remember that people viewing your screenshots may not have large screens, and will be viewing them in a browser which will take up some screen space for itself, so try not to make the high resolution images too large. KDE applications should work in 800x600, but it can be difficult to make attractive screenshots at that resolution.
| Location | Width | Suggested Height |
|---|---|---|
| Application page | 330 | 250 |
| Gallery thumbnails | 270 | 200 |
| Gallery screenshots (suggested) | 800-900 | ~640 |
Please add the width and height as a property in your html code, like that: <img src="startup.png" alt="" width="519" height="416" />
Filename conventions
Please name your screenshots as follows:
High resolution (unscaled) screenshots should have a filename of the form:
feature[num]_year_month.png
where
- feature is the name of (or an abbreviation for) the feature that the screenshot demonstrates (e.g. 'bidi' for bidirectional text)
- num is optional. Use it if you create more than one screenshot for a given feature within a given month
- year is the current year
- month is the current month
Lower resolution (scaled down) screenshots should have a filename of the form:
feature[num]_year_month_width.png
where width is the width of the image, and the other fields are the same as listed above.
