Here are some specs on my system:
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Appearance Theme: Ambiance (default)

I have:
- opened the screenshots on gimp
- fine tuned the cropping if needed
- copy the whole screenshot to buffer (fixed version of course)
- create a new image with ctrl-n
  - Increase the dimensions with 6 pixels on width and height (the
default size for new image is the dimensions in the copy buffer, or
active image - not sure which)
- change the color to the one used in the documentation (527bbd)
  - double click the front color on the toolbox
  - paste the desired color to the "html code" field
- paint the canvas blue with fill bucket
- paste the screenshot from copy buffer, it will be centred properly by default
- ctrl-a && ctrl-s

All image formats I have used are the default pngs and default
settings on gimp when saving.

If you don't get the appearance right, I can do this. Just tell me
what you want and send other specs needed for the screenshot.
