Yeh, I played with it using the same format as the other spin details'
pages but even with a larger size screenshot, the details of the Wesnoth
screenshot were a little lost. I felt like splitting out into 3
screenshot in the case of the Games spin made sense since many different
games are really central to the spin.

The fade-out to white on the bottom? It's a design element I'm trying to
apply to all the banners (see the FEL and LXDE banners further up the
page) but it might not work very well for the particular design I went with.

Can you give me examples of games included in the spin that have
compelling artwork that doesn't rqeuire 3d? I'm mostly looking for
eye-candy to rope folks in :)
