What You Need to Do

Each screenshot placeholder in docs/UI_USER_GUIDE.md includes specific instructions for what to show. Use this checklist:

Basic Interface (Priority 1 - Most Important):

  • Landing screen with Eye of Mimir
  • Chat conversation with multiple messages
  • Model selector dropdown open
  • Chatmode selector dropdown open
  • Custom preamble modal (empty and filled)
  • File attachment previews

Features (Priority 2):

  • Default model saving flow (2 screenshots)
  • Custom preamble creation (3 screenshots)

  • Memory save confirmation dialog
  • Streaming response animation
  • Markdown rendering examples

Advanced (Priority 3 - Optional):

Screenshot Tips

Tools:

  • Windows: Snipping Tool (Win + Shift + S)
  • Mac: Cmd + Shift + 4
  • Browser: DevTools screenshot feature

Image Format:

  • Use PNG for UI screenshots (better quality)
  • Use JPG for photos (smaller size)
  • Recommended size: 1200px-1800px wide

Naming Convention:

docs/images/ui/
  ├── 01-landing-screen.png
  ├── 02-first-message.png
  ├── 03-chat-messages.png
  ├── 04-streaming-response.png
  ├── 05-markdown-rendering.png
  ...

After Capturing:

  1. Create docs/images/ui/ directory
  2. Save screenshots with descriptive names
  3. Replace placeholder text in UI_USER_GUIDE.md: 
    ![Landing Screen - Screenshot should show: ...]
    becomes: 
    ![Landing Screen](../images/ui/01-landing-screen.png)

Optional Enhancements
