Update App Screenshots

Description

The screenshots for our core apps are largely out of date - they show the UI from many versions ago, and look out of place compared to recent screenshots following best practices that have emerged somewhat recently. I believe we should codify these best practices into a set of guidelines that developers can reference and follow with the tooling we have available.

Scope

  • Developer documentation
  • Core apps
  • Design tools
  • Development tools
  • Circle apps

Goals

  • Define a set of guidelines for application screenshots that core and third-party app developers should follow.
  • Replace the metainfo screenshots of core and Circle applications with new screenshots following the guidelines

People in Charge & Contact

  • Christopher Davis (@BrainBlasted)
  • Sophie Herold (@sophie-h)

Instructions to Achieve the Goals

As a first step, we are trying to submit as many screenshots to Core apps before GNOME 42 release as possible. Other contribution methods will be considered later.

  • Take screenshots following the guidelines and tricks on the wiki page
  • Create a Merge Request adding the screenshots
