Moodle documentation: Screenshots in the documentation

What is the policy on the use of screenshots on MoodleDocs? I think it should be encouraged, but there probably need to be some guidelines and standardisation on size. Should we always use the standard theme?

I think the standard theme would be best, but any theme that is fairly plain would be OK by me.  Very colorful themes or themes that change the default layout should be avoided, just to prevent confusion.

Some guidelines on size are also a good idea.  They should be clear and visible but as small in bytes as possible.  I'd like to see some opinions on hard numbers.

Also, the language in the screenshots should match the language of the page.

Yep, a very good suggestion.

What about Flash-based tutorials if we have time?
