For Visual Editor users, click the Insert dropdown, then expand it by clicking More, then click Gallery.
=== Screenshotting ===
All screenshots '''must''' be captured in PNG format. Screenshots should be taken in a VM screen (doesn't matter how you get a VM running) and if the screenshot is taken from a hypervisor, be cropped to just the VM screen (for obvious reasons).
You can use the hypervisor's screenshot function if it has it, and any hypervisor that is applicable for testing the bootleg. Although you ''can'' just use the Install Any OS VMs (or soon, Crusttest, which is nearly done, but not yet ready for public release. It will come in handy for later, but for now it is not applicable) using a virtual machine is highly recommended, as you don't have to deal with distractions and disruptions from any potential troublemakers that can arise in using a public environment, and you get a higher quality picture as there isn't any JPEG compression from the server.
Try to maintain a consistent resolution of 1024x768 across all screenshots, if possible. The reasoning behind that specific resolution is because it is a good balance of size and content. (That being, it's not too big or small, and just about everything else will properly fit in that resolution without any cramming).▼
For application screenshots, they should be cropped. In the case of Windows, you will need an external program such as AeroShot(CRE), which you can download {{Link|https://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Capture/AeroShot.shtml|name=here (for AeroShot)}}, and {{Link|https://github.com/Cvolton/AeroShotCRE|name=here (AeroShotCRE)}}. In the case of Linux, there's a good chance a screenshot tool is present, and you can use that.
== Example shots ==
=== Desktop shots ===
<gallery>
8Green-Desktop.png | Good screenshot! At 1024x768, clean and default configuration.
Badshotexample.png | Bad screenshot! It's at 1024x768, however it includes wallpapers and programs not included with the mod.
</gallery>
=== Program shots ===
<gallery>
SVPro-RDP.png | Good screenshot! Transparency is seen, and no other graphics are seen as the main subject is the program.
Badshotexample1.png | Bad screenshot! While it is at default configuration, other graphics are seen, such as the wallpaper.
</gallery>
=== Labeling your screenshots and formatting it in its own gallery ===
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. The Desktop, Start Menu, and Demo portions must always be included, even if it's unchanged from stock. Do not attempt to alter or change anything in the bootleg, and try to keep everything as is in its default configuration. An exception to this is if the resolution is raised to 1024x768.

When you are installing the bootleg and it asks you to put a name in, just put "crustywindows". Do not put your own name in, it is a bad practice! For computer name, put "crustywin", and workgroup, put "WORKGROUP".
