No, I don't like them. The GNOME one has a mixture of German and English on it
and a strange font. The KDE one doesn't show specific KDE Applications and contains
lots of German texts too. The KDE-FreeBSD Website has many better KDE Screenshots.
Please submit some more default-style Screenshots.
Second I don't think that the Handbook should be a screenshot gallery.

In that section, links to the FreeBSD GNOME Project and to the FreeBSD-KDE team's web sites were added also for that purpose. These sites provide screenshots and many informations. It would be useless to "re-invent" the wheel. (look at http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/screenshots.html for example). > why do we provide screenshots of sysinstall in the install chapter? > to support the text, so why do not add 1 screenshot per desktop > environment? i will provide another pair of screenshots tomorrow. The case is different, it's really difficult to talk about various Sysinstall steps without some screenshots. And Sysinstall is a part of FreeBSD, GNOME and KDE are third party softwares, it's not the aim of our documentation to provide screenshots of every apps around, links are provided for that purpose. We already talked about that "screenshot problem" about one year ago, and with the same conclusion. Marc State Changed From-To: open->closed This one can be closed, the originator said. |
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/x11/chapter.sgml: i added two screenshots showing a kde and a freebsd desktop because i think it is necessary to not only talk but also show how these desktop actually "look". i have not seen a single book or article about wm/desktops without images yet. the images are available at: http://www.daemon.li/downloads/gnomedesktop.png http://www.daemon.li/downloads/kdedesktop.png the gnomedesktop screenshot is taken from the gnome/freebsd site and the kde desktop screenshot belongs to arved@freebsd.org.
