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The screenshots for our core apps are largely out of date - they show the UI from many versions ago, and look out of place compared to recent screenshots following best practices that have emerged somewhat recently.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
