However, in
all honesty when I first
read Alexandre's description I envisioned something more like the
reflection shown below the icon in this image:
http://rtg.in.ua/galleries/mythtv/mythtv-screen.jpg
We could tone down the reflection a bit and make the horizontal line more
prominent; this would also help segment the page a bit so that the
screenshot isn't running into the news as much,
Thoughts on whether this is a good idea or terrible?
The problem with that is that it involves extra work (possibly significant
extra work, if we want to use the effect on other screenshots on the
site), because every time the screenshot is changed, someone will have
to produce a new "reflection" graphic. It also increases the vertical space
needed for each image to which it's applied by around 1/3, and might
require moving or removing the "More screenshots" link (you'll notice
that your sample image does not have text directly below it).
