You can use any screenshot program for screen capture, preferably the hypervisor's screenshot function if it has it, and any hypervisor or site for testing the bootleg. Although you ''can'' just use the Install Any OS VMs, using a virtual machine is highly recommended, as you don't have to deal with distractions and disruptions from any potential troublemakers, and you get a higher quality picture as it's not compressed by CollabVM itself.
As for labeling your screenshots, and good places to look for capturing, this is
<pre>(Original OS Name)_(Bootleg OS Name)_(Portion).png</pre>
Example: <code>XP_MagartRedivo2010_DjKhaledTheme.png</code><br>
<code>Vista_GanjaEdition_Desktop.png</code>
And as for places to look, you shouldn't have too much of an issue finding places to look, but if you can't for the life of you find any good places, or is just unsure on where to start, here are a few good places to look:
This is assuming you are writing for an XP bootleg.
You must order the screenshots in the gallery in the way that the portions down below are ordered. You can only take one of each screenshot, and if there are multiple sections of one portion, it doesn't exclude it from capture.
<pre>
Pre-boot selector / Boot selector (If it exists)
Text-mode setup (Partition screen, Format screen, Copying screen)
Graphical setup
Boot screen
Pre-OOBE (In most bootlegs with stripped OOBEs, this part will almost always be here)
OOBE (If it exists)
Post-OOBE (Login screen)
Post-Login (Anything that is set to run on startup, such as a WPI, post-install script, or other such)
Desktop (If any reboots are required (which is the case most of the time in bootlegs with WPIs), then that makes it a Desktop on First Boot portion, otherwise it's just a Desktop portion)
Start Menu (The start menu of the default theme)
Demo (A Demo portion involves two or three windows, but these two are paramount: System Properties (you can access the dialog in the Control Panel or typing <code>sysdm.cpl</code> in the Run dialog), About Windows (you can access the dialog by running winver.exe in the Run prompt or going to My Computer, clicking Help and then About). You can also include the Run dialog itself)
Autorun (If the bootleg has a custom one)
</pre>
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 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, preferrably with the Display Properties dialog closed, then you open the start menu and then capture the screenshot.
As for labeling it, you do it like this: <code>(prepend your OS name from your previous screenshots)_(Theme Name)_Theme.png</code>
