After discussions with Josh and Arve, I would like to propose that we drop the screenshot element. The rationales for the decision are: * screenshots bloat the package, * and screenshots are never used when the widget is instantiated. * Also, there is no way to identify on which platform the screenshot of the widget was taken on. This is an issue because a UA may render form elements used by a widget differently from one platform to another. Authors will want to show what a widget looks like when running on a platform. To show this, authors should provide distributors/galleries with platform specific screenshots. Having a bunch of screenshots in the package may confuse/mislead users in believing the widget will look/behave in some particular way, which may not be true on some platforms. Kind regards, Marcos
