Fixes #2787

This pull request updates screenshot-grid.png to reflect the latest UI changes in elementary OS 8 (Circe). The updated screenshot accurately captures the new App Menu options, including the zoom controls, navigation toggles, and date/time format settings.

Captured on a live Wayland session using the latest stable release.

@Dipanshusinghh Please capture just the Files window with a transparent background as per the existing screenshots. The existing screenshot was provided by Danielle so copy that as closely as you can. What is your max screen resolution?

@jeremypw
Thanks I havee updated the screenshot to better match the existing repository screenshots

This version contains only the Files window with the surrounding desktop elements removed, and the image has been exported as a transparent PNG to match the previous style as closely as possible
My maximum screen resolution is 1920×1080.

@Dipanshusinghh The screenshot in this PR does not seem to have changed? It still shows your whole desktop with elementaryos running in VirtualBox. You will need to take the screenshot using elementaryos running fullscreen, taking only the Files window. Use the Screenshot app in the Applications menu, not the keyboard shortcut.

I used to run elementaryos in a VM so it is possible.

It looks like you haven't pushed your changes to your branch actually. The relevant file was updated 20 hours ago.

@jeremypw Thanks for the clarification.
Looks like I forgot to push the updated screenshot commit actually..
I will recapture the screenshot in fullscreen with only the Files window and transparent background,
then push the changes shortly.
Apart from this screenshot issue, rest of the PR looks okay.?/

@Dipanshusinghh Yes, all you need to do is update the .png file for the relevant screenshot. See #623 for a previous update PR. Resolution of 1920 x 1280 should be fine.

@Dipanshusinghh The updated screenshot is still not appearing here. Is there a problem?

Hi @jeremypw,
I sincerely apologize for the delay and the confusion regarding the screenshot updates. I tried multiple times to fix and recapture the screenshot, but my VM setup has been unstable and keeps shutting down, which has made it difficult to generate the correct output consistently.

At the moment, this is the latest screenshot I am able to provide from my system. I understand the requirements clearly now and will continue trying to resolve the VM issue so I can update it properly as requested.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

@Dipanshusinghh OK, thanks for letting me know - screenshots in VMs can be tricky. Maybe I should attempt to take some as I am running the daily version natively. It is better to update the screenshots to take into account things that will be in the release in which they appear I guess. The Column View also needs updating to show the new preview panel. There is a Files release coming up in a couple of weeks and it would be nice to have updated screenshots for that.
