Hi Alex,

still - you have to be careful when you make screenshots of things like
wireframe objects at such a high resolution. Both downsampling and
printing on less-than-optimal printing equipment will make the
screenshots unuseable (I mean: the wireframes will be invisible). In my
experience with the Blender Tutorial Guides, making screenshots @
800x600 or 1024x768 at the highest is good enough.

Also, DO think about what you're offering here: your suggestion would
mean that you have to make ALL the screenshots for the manual. Not only
do I think that this will be too much work for one person, but I also
fear that this could become quite difficult to 'manage' correctly.
Wouldn't you agree?

Bart
