Re: Inappropriate Marble Screenshots for KDE 4.10 announcement

Hi Carl,

to recreate the attached screenshot, open Marble and
- in Map View, select Globe Projection and Mars as Celestial Body
- In the View => Online Services menu, enable Satellites
  (in case the entry is missing, activate the plugin in Settings)
- Pan the globe a bit. Phobos, Deimos and Mars Express should be visible
somewhere
  (you can search for them if you don't spot them directly)
- left click on each of them, select "Display Orbit" in the menu

Pan and zoom the globe such that it looks nice. It's also possible to
change the time to view them at different positions which might look
nicer for a screenshot. To do that, select View => Time Control and
choose a different date or time.

Feel free to ping me in IRC (Earthwings), might be quicker than mail.
Torsten is travelling at the moment, so expect some delays in his responses.

It would be nice if someone could remove marble-mars.png,
marble-indonesia.png and marble-climate.png from screenshots/4.10: They
show quite a lot of features from 4.11, but still 4.11 will look
different because we'll switch from QTabWidget (left widget) to dock
widgets soon.

Regards,
Dennis
