Screenshot guidelines

Need to know what the default wallpaper is. Has it been decided?

- Use only two or three colors for anything that's not a photo
- Resolution 1280x720
- Use the same font everywhere. Liberation Sans is preferred; other
sans fonts are workable. Nuno may have more to say about this.
- Use the default wallpaper - should be new default wallpaper
- Hinting style set to full. Even if you like big fonts, the result is
much sharper if your hinting is set to full.
- Use a smaller font size like 8 or 9. Small fonts have a thinner
trace that makes the font thickness be exactly 1 pixel. If your font
thickness is not 1, then you are in trouble.  Low hinting style and
large fonts make traces of about 1.3 - 1.5 thickness that result in
blurry looking fonts. They are not only bad looking, they tend to
produce headaches as your eyes try to  constantly focus the font.
- Don't use bold. Bold fonts are not as readable as normal fonts
because the width of the trace is usually larger than 1 and smaller
than 2 producing blurry results.
- Make your fonts more greyish than blackish. Nuno "IMO much better
sharpness results."
