#373 spins: we need to update the screenshots, and make it nicer
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by shaiton.

we need to update many screenshots on the spins website.
Also, we need to make it easily maintainable, they should all be on a specific folder, using the same overview/code (like kde Vs Xfce page). On big pic and the other one smaller.
It could be great to reuse the on on the get-fedora-options fpo page.

[edit] this is going to be obsolete for F21. Consider quick fix please. See #248


shaiton,

if we can figure out what screenshots are needed, this may also be a good task that the design-team can help out with too!

cheers,

Hi ryanlerch,
help is appreciated :) The screenshots we need are the ones for the spins, you can see them when clicking on the single spin in http://spins.fedoraproject.org

It would be nice to have 2 screenshots for each spin, a smaller one to insert on the page and when double clicking a bigger one, such as the screenshots we have on http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora-options

Actually on the spins.fp.o pages we don't have this meccanism, some have only one screenshot, others like the XFCE have 2 screenshots (try).

I think it could also be useful to consider this ticket related to #52, which are the screenshots of the section "Screenshots & Features"; these are showing Fedora 14. Images have a white gradient on the bottom.

I have attached a few patches and appreciate any constructive criticism or advice.

It's much better I think. We could also remove the "Click to enlarge" text if we set cursor:help or cursor:pointer over this picture.
Would you mind providing patches for other Spins? (when you feel it's final)

If we update the screenshots, they should feature Fedora 20, so please don't spend time on taking them with a F19 background.

I greatly appreciate the feedback. I would love to provide patches for the other spins too! I will continue to work on this and submit patches when I feel that I have something close to final.

Team,

I ran into an issue I am unable to solve myself. It seems that the overly is not behaving correctly for the LXDE spin. Below is a link to a tarball of patches I have so far and would appreciate any advice.

Thank you,
Matt

Team,

I figured out my issue. I had some elements accidentally nested.

Thank you,

Matt

Team,

Below is a link to a tarball of patches that I would like to submit for review. This will updated the screenshots, and add an overlay effect. Please let me know if you have any feedback.

Thank you,

On second thought, I don't think all the screenshots are ready, yet. I will double check and let you know.

Team,

Has anyone had a chance to check these patches?

Thank you,

Matt

Hey Matthew,

thank you for the patches. I pushed them into production right now, just two things to remind in the future:
Pay attention to trailing whitespaces (patch 0006 had one in line 32)
I like many commits, but it's better not to separate every single file. Just keep separated different tasks (for example keep together all the work for LXDE, or all the work for XFCE, etc.)

I see some screenshots are still not F20, Xfce for example has been updated to F20 in the ''About Xfce'' page but not in the ''Xfce Home'' page. Can you add these too? Would be great!

Nice work!

Hi,

Just a quick note:

As part of our marketing tasks, we collect screenshots from the various DEs for each release. The ones for F20 are here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F20_screenshots_library

You can use these if you want. If there are others that you'd require, we'll be happy to add them every Fedora release so that you can simply pick them up and update the fedora websites. With the amount of work you have to do already, it'll be nice to minimise duplication of work ;)

Thanks,[[BR]]
Warm regards,[[BR]]

Team,

Thank you so very much for the feedback. I will work on the Xfce page and am happy to learn about the screenshots library.

Thank you,

Matt

Thanks Matthew, most of the work has been done. We are going to drop spins.fpo for fedora.next, so I'm closing this ticket.

Please refer to #248 if you want to help us with it.
