KDE Documentation Screenshots Requirements

  • Do only use PNG.
  • To give our documentation a corporate look we have decided on ONE theme/style for all screenshots:
    Window decoration: Breeze
    Widget style: Breeze
    Colors: KDE Default
    Background: Flat color - Color must be white
  • Use Spectacle or KSnapShot, both are highly configurable.
  • The screenshots should reside at the same directory level as the index.docbook file that uses them.
    Do not put them in a subdirectory.

The easiest way to achieve this (and to get default settings for applications) is to simply create a new user to get the defaults. Then run Plasma as that user when you want to take screenshots.
