* Using GIMP
To take screen shots of the widgets, you can follow these steps:
1. Take a widget screen shot
2. Open it with GIMP
3. Cut it to 240 x 73
4. Add a border using Filters/Decor/Add Border... + Border X size :: 1
+ Border Y size :: 1 + Border color :: black
+ Delta value on color :: 25
5. Combine all layers
6. Add a drop shadow using Filters/Light and Shadow/Drop
Shadow... + Offset X :: 8
+ Offset Y :: 8 + Blur radius :: 9
+ Color :: black + Opacity :: 80
+ Allow resizing :: #t
7. Save as .png
There are two scripts in this directory that might help in this
process. Keep in mind though that the GIMP script is very fragile
and some tweaking might be necessary to make it work in different
setups. + [[file:widget.rkt][widget.rkt]] :: Creates a "canvas" panel with a border, so it is
easier to select the widget area using GIMP's Fuzzy
Select Tool
+ [[file:racket-widget.scm][racket-widget.scm]] :: GIMP's script which, when invoked, asks for a
window to take a screen shot and do the post production to the
image. This script should be put inside a specific directory,
here being `~/.gimp-2.6/scripts', and should be invoked at
File/Create/Racket Widget.
