A tip for screenshots.
If you use VICE to take screenshots turn off the PAL-emulation to get screenshots with more realistic colours. |

The PAL Emulation makes quite a difference, compare these two:
PAL on: The Final Synth Sample I
PAL off: The Final Synth Sample I |

I think PAL-emulation is ment to give an indication of how things would look on a TV.
Turning it on,gives the screen a bit of a more ´blurred´ view.
But Graham explained that the colors on a C64 get ´blurred´ at the source.
Colors influence the colors next to them and I think that is true and not a trick of the eye.
But should I always make a screenshot with borders even when there is nothing happening in there? |

I think the border should be there always. That's just how the screen looks. It has a border, may it be black or blue or any other color. Keep the border! :) |

@Zyron: That two screenshot would look exactly the same if the same base colors would have been used. No matter if PAL emulation or not.
EDIT:
Looking more close at them: both DON'T use PAL emulation. |

Both were taken with VICE 1.16 using the same palette, one with PAL Emulation turned on & one with it turned off. Why would I make that up? |

Maybe we should look at VICE and implement a switch to set the PAL emulation on/off for screenshots?
It's open source you know. :)
PAL emulation is very nice for running the stuff. It looks very blocky on my TFT otherwise.
I would also like it to automatically do 'list' before 'run', like one would do on a normal c64. :)

Why would I want that?
If I list before run I only see a SYS number anyway. But then I am no coder... |

It was quite common to put release information in the sys-line. Year/Group for example. When checking loads of stuff to upload it's a pain to do 'list' because VICE has no quick menu to just load the program, only load and run. |
