Hi Memnon, I do to some extend agree with you. The buffer picture does look very colored and a bit unrealistic. A real buffer would look less colored because the distribution between text and functional elements would be different. These lines are so short to make them readable at all in a screenshot. I actually do use these colors currently and find them quite workable. The main issue here is: what if the function of this picture? It will be on a page together with 9 other colorful logos or screenshots. If we show just a window of text, it will look complete boring in this context, and then I'd much rather use only the Unicorn. If people only do as much as clicking through to the homepage, they will see an image with less color there, and this will adjust their expectation I am sure. - Carsten > > On the other hand, I know lots of people love heavy use of intense > colors, so maybe this really is the best way to get the right > impression > out there. > > What do you think?
