Hi!
I've got a question regarding screenshots for an apps documentation.

I've developed a small application for KDE and have a docbook-manual for it.
Now I want the final release to have screenshots in the manual.

I read on http://i18n.kde.org/doc/screenshots.php that I should use Keramik 
style and Keramik window decorations and that X should be in 8 bit mode.
But:
- - Keramik isn't available when X is in 8 bit mode
- - Even small screenshots are already ~7 kb, bigger ones will surely get bigger 
than 10 kb
- - To get Keramik working again, I have to switch back to 16 bit mode and 
screenshots are bigger than 10 kb, even when reduced to 256 indexed colors.

What should I do now?
Ignore the 10 kb limit?

And what about the icon theme?
Should I use Crystal when making the screenshots or HighColor?

Please CC to me because I'm not on the list.

Regards
Christian Nitschkowski
