Hi Radim,

"just do it" :-)

I know for the training manual at a certain stage it was updated by one
person with a mac, so he could update all screenshots and we had a nice
and coherent view of screenshot styles.

But I say: "we better have documentation with Linux screenshots then no
screenshots at all"

Screenies can always be refined by somebody with the right font/os/deco.

BUT if somebody is aware of certain guidelines (like the preferred sizes
of the dialog images or so)... please step forward and add it to the
above link.

And, Radim, thanks for taking the time to do the documentation!!!!

Regards,
