Will Link for Screenshots
Posted on October 1, 2008 in Perishable by Jeff Starr
Quick announcement that I will be posting an article featuring a diverse screenshot gallery of the new design. To accomplish this, I need screenshots from as many different operating systems and browsers as possible. Currently, I have access to the following browsers:
Windows XP (Home, SP1)
- Firefox 1.5.0 & 2.0.0
- Opera 8.54 & 9.50
- Internet Explorer 7.0
- Google Chrome 0.2.149
- Flock 0.4.9 (yeah, I know)
Mac OS X (10.4.8)
- Firefox 3.0.1
- Opera 9.23
- Safari 2.0.4
- Camino 1.0.3
Thus, I need screenshots of the Perishable Press home page on any browser/platform not listed. I am doing this not only for the sake of prosperity, but for cross-browser accuracy as well.
To participate, send your screenshot(s) along with the URL for your site. After a week or so of soliciting for screenshots, I will post the collection along with links for everyone who helped. It’s a bribe, I know, but I want those screenshots, so send ‘em in, people!
Have you tried browsershots.org, that should provide you with most of the screen shots you want.
Firefox 3.0.3, WinXP, 1280×1024, full page:

Firefox 3.1b1pre (CE build), WinXP, 1280×1024, visible area only:

K-Meleon 1.5.0, WinXP, 1280×1024, visible area only:

I took this as an afterthought since k-meleon often gives problems (as you can see) feel free to delete these links when you’re done :)
browsershots is great, but the wait time for unusual browsers is a pain, often nearing an hour or so for a full set of screens
Firefox 3.0.3, Mac OS X 10.5.5:

I can help you with IE6 on Windows XP (yep, I don’t find it worth to upgrade, and I also need IE6 for fixing bugs in my designs), and Firefox on Ubuntu Linux.
But then again, Browsershots should be pretty good (I use it often) as comment#1 points out.
Hi Jeff,
this is the link to my screenshot of your website:

All of these are on Mac OS 10.5.5
Attached to an email sent to jeff@…
Safari 3.1.1 on XP SP3 at 1024×768.
;)
For good measure, check your jeff@ for Opera 9.52 on these OSs:
Windows 2000 Professional SP4 (VM)
Windows 98 Second Edition
;)
Here are a couple for you (looks great in both):
Firefox 2.0.0.17 on Linux (on Kubuntu 7.10)

Konqueror 3.5.8 on Linux (on Kubuntu 7.10) http://media.altj.org/200810/pp-konq.png
I might be able to get you a Firefox 3 on Linux later tonight.
Why don’t you try http://browsershots.org/ ? They can help with almost every browser/ OS combination and resolutions.
Works tremendously well.
10-to-1 Jeff is no stranger to BrowserShots. :) I suspect he enjoys getting his readers involved, and I don’t blame him in the least for it!
WinXP Media Center SP3, Firefox 3.0.3, 1280×800

Did you want a screenshot of the entire page, could only get that for firefox. Seems that getting screenshots of an entire window is rather difficult.

Thanks to everyone for the excellent screenshots! The response has been better than I had hoped.. Now that I am back in the office, I will be consolidating and organizing all of the different images and then putting together a gallery post here within the next few days. Thank you again, everyone!
Jeff, you’ve done a great job on the blog. The design is really strong on a Mac in both Safari and FireFox.
@Thanks for the positive feedback, and thanks also for the Paparazzi screenshot! Very nice :) Will post asap. Cheers!
Update: Check out the entire collection of screenshots via the Perishable Press Quintessential Screenshot Gallery. Thanks to your help, I now have an abundance of screenshots from which to verify cross-browser compatibility. No more screenshots are needed, unless of course you have access to something that isn’t readily available to everyone else. Otherwise, I think we’re good to go. Thanks again to everyone who helped with the screenshots — mission accomplished! ;)
