It looks like the screenshot was an actual photo of someone's monitor. I'm left wondering why print screen wasn't utilized. And for some reason it really makes me not want to touch this project.

Looking at the metadata it says it is a Gnome screenshot. What a pointless and incorrect non-sequitor.

I thought it was a semi-transparent window until I read this. The curvature makes that clear, wow!
