Description
Important
Updates are welcome, and we need it. Some of the focus are...
- update them to use the new purple color scheme
- redo them with better quality/dimensions.
This is an issue tracking about the addon screenshots. It is mainly displayed on the addons page.
For discussion related to adding images or media to the extension itself, see ScratchAddons/ScratchAddons#364.
You can add your images by following either of these two options.
- Create a fork, add your images on /site/assets/images/addons, and create a pull request.
- Comment and attach the images on this issue. Someone will add it for you.
Continuation of ScratchAddons/website#61 for website-v2.
Guidelines
The images for the addon are following these rules:
- Post the addon ID, and preferably also the addon name. The addon ID is colored gray underneath the addon name.
- The image has an extension/a format of
.png
. - The image has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and a size of at least 400x300.
Note
The recommended sizes are 800x600 to 1200x900, depending of the size of the subject, and the display pixel ratio (DPI) of 3 to 4. Other sizes are still allowed, as long as the ratio is still 4:3 or 1.3333... (e.g. 400x300, 480x360, 800x600).
Zooming in/out using the browser is permitted, including setting the display pixel ratio using browser tools. See this comment as a suggestion.
- The image contains a sample of what the addon can offer without any other effects from other addons.
Note
Disable other addons so that the screenshot only shows one addon only. One addon for one image! We don't want confusion.
- The image has minimum edits, but still made the image to be not awkward.
Note
If an edit can be made to improve the visibility of addon behaviors, you may do it, while still keep in in the minimum. This includes...
- Have additional markers (red cross for removed elements, circle for very, very subtle changes, etc (example from disable-auto-save)
- Make a side by side comparison if needed. (example from fix-uploaded-svgs)
If possible, the image is only cropped, without any resizing or other edits. As mentioned, zooming is allowed.
- If possible, avoid having user-generated content on the image (user avatars, user names, project thumbnails, project name, etc)
Note
In cases when the editor is needed, but the address bar would be in frame, using https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor/ is suggested.
