Thank you for all your reviews!  Feel free to change some things later on:

I will push tomorrow morning with a clear mind. :)

I have *not* done this, only the link is no longer yellow.

I have done this, but most of the screenshot-related CSS remains in
website/static/base/css/index.css.

I have *not* done this yet, as I am bad at drawing icons for the help
page.  I could ask a friend of mine or have you do it.

Thank you for the suggestion!  However, I believe it would sample the
same element twice.  That is unlikely to happen for packages but a
problem for screenshots.  I will probably retain my take-random
procedure, even though it is not as concise as it should be.

IANAL, but I copied code from the files you worked on, so you have
copyright.  I will fix the typo in all files then.
