Screenshot: Add Theme Name (instead of Story)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The screenshot is sometimes more relevant to identify a theme than the title.

Describe the solution you'd like
For consistency reasons, we should change the page title in the screenshot to TT5, Twenty-Twenty Five or similar instead of Stories

We've discussed this previously in #31 and the reasons to keep Stories as title were explained here.

The goal of Twenty themes is to provide a compelling new default theme, one that showcases the most current best practices of the project. It's named after the year in question to imply there will be another one next year, and make it part of a series. This name is clearly visible in the legible text of on the theme page, and in the theme directory, where unlike any text in a screenshot, will be picked up by search engines and read by screen readers:

The screenshot is meant to show you visually what you'll get when you activate the theme. To that end, I would keep the word "Stories", as the driving concept behind the visual style.

That's assumption I'm questioning. People are more used to just look on the screenshot.

One could argue that screen reader users are getting even more confused when the activate the theme are read "stories" everywhere but not "twenty twenty five".

My point is that people will be confused (and complain as always about the bad UX). The title in the screenshot is disconnected from the theme name and then there is their custom page title. 3 different titles. Can we at least reduce it to two (in the realm of the screenshot)?

I feel quite strongly that the purpose of the demo content is to show you something that feels real, so when you look at the visuals, you can get a true sense of what your website could look like when you activate it. That's not just about the title, but about the demo content, and the images chosen as well. We go to great lengths to ensure the patterns themselves contain something believable and compelling, so you can make an educated visual choice when building things out. I don't think people will be confused.

What custom page title are you referring to?

Absolutely agree! I also love the demo content of TT5. No doubts about that.
But, the screenshot should be a representation of the theme and not the demo content
If the title of the theme is not in the screenshot, I think this is confusing.
For the image and text it's clear that it's demo content.

What custom page title are you referring to?

Sorry, miss spelled. The "Site Title" I mean.

It would be interesting to get some specific data whether this is such a cumbersome point of confusion for a relevant number of people. This has also been done before with the Twenty Twenty-Two screenshot as well and I don't think users have been confused for it.

Yes, that would be interesting for sure.
I'd argue that everything that breaks the pattern will confuse people. As already pointed out in this comment
also other big themes in the theme repository put the theme name where the site title belongs.

This has also been done before with the Twenty Twenty-Two screenshot as well and I don't think users have been confused for it.

TT2 has a logo, which (to me) is clear that it is a placeholder logo.

I'm going to close this issue because it feels like I'm not going to convince you here.
Still, I'm not in favor of this result.

Let's see how the reviews of the new theme will be and we could still update the screenshot later.
