I'd be ALL for standardized screenshots. Otherwise, we'd be depending on only certain people who have a nice display, to do it. And preferably, the exact same display, throughout the manual.
I don't understand the first thing you described, about something build and translate svg. But "the SVG screenshots program" caught my attention. What is that?

I can make a screenshot ready, I'll do that too.
- Sounds great :) Thank you, Brynn!
I was thinking of something a little bit mad. Taking screenshots of our gtk3 inkscape build using the svg screenshots program. Seeing if we could standardise the size and look of any of our screenshots and maybe even translate the svg instead of the app each time.
But so far that's just a whistful thought.
