Re: [platform-doc-dev] Screen Shots parameters



How about using Windows Classic theme? That should be available on both XP
and 2k. Normally I wouldn't say it is that big a deal, but the XP theme
does look quite different. The most important part is to have solid colors,
and use white for window backgrounds (as opposed to grey or yellow, etc.)
and the overall resolution. At IBM we also recommend that captures be no
larger than 540x540 pixels so that they don't get too large.

Thanks, Jeanette

Is it really required to have XP screenshots? We in Toronto have Win2k on
all our machines and only one XP machine (for testing). It will slow down
our doc works if we form a queue for that single machine for taking (and
retaking) screenshots.

Thought I would post this to the list as Dirk was asking. Jim and I have
come up with a set of parameters for taking screenshots. If you take your
own no problem - please let me know which ones you have done so I don't
redo them on you.

Setup of machine
1152x864 pixels
32 bit True Colour
Windows XP theme
Blue color scheme
Background set to 128,128,128 (to avoid cheese)

Tool
Photoshop 6.0
Custom color settings (In Edit > Color Settings - I have these for you
when you need them)
Output mode "Save for Web" (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S)
Custom Output settings (the Photoshop defualt settings make everything
yellow).

I didn't send the settings files to reduce spam. Please let Jim or I know
if you need them.

Tod

Hi,

I have a question regarding the XP settings to produce screen shots. Is
the following
setting correct:

Theme: Windows XP
Color schema: default blue.

Is this correct ?

Dirk
