=== Some other things you need to know ===
* Don't forget to specify the default theme's name when you're captioning the start menu image. You can find it by simply opening the theme selector.
* If you're reviewing a Windows Vista+ bootleg, if the System Properties window has changed branding, and you have the About Windows dialog open, move the About Windows dialog to down to the left and the System Properties window up to the right. This will make sure all of the branding will be shown, otherwise the About Windows dialog will cover part of it and not show everything.
* When you're operating the WPI in a bootleg, you should select the full configuration to install every program available. This makes sure that you get the most out of the preincluded programs. You don't necessarily have to do this, however.
=== Structure of a themes gallery ===
What is also important to capture are the themes of a bootleg, as there are many bootlegs with many themes (and we do mean many, there are [[Windows 7 Infinium Edition|known bootlegs]] with more than 100 themes), so this is how to deal with it:
You must take a screenshot of the theme by applying the theme in the theme selector, then you open the Start menu and then capture the screenshot.
As for labeling it, you do it like this: <code>(Original OS name) (Bootleg OS name) (Theme name) theme.png</code>.
As for captioning it in the gallery, you do it like this: <code>"(Theme name)" theme</code>. You can also append the internal theme name if the theme selector's name doesn't accurately represent what it is, but it takes more time to caption in bulk. Example: <code>"(Theme name)" theme ("(Internal theme name)" theme)</code>.
If the theme has any other names, you title it like this: <code>"(Theme name)" theme ("(Theme name 1)" theme, "(Theme name 2)" theme)</code>.
It is generally recommended to leave everything in its default configuration, and not change anything when you're capturing bootleg screenshots.
