ThemeShooter is a small application made to allow HBC theme creators to create screenshots of their themes to put on the HBC theme repository here. ThemeShooter is Windows only, however there is a cross-platform, Python based version as well called ThemeshooterTK

Usage

Very simple. Just run ThemeShooter.exe and click "Browse", then select the theme.zip you want to screen shot. Then click "Make screenshot" and select where to save the screenshot.

If the screenshots the app generates don't have text on them, try right-clicking ThemeShooter.exe and choosing "Run as Administrator". This should only be necessary one time, to install the fonts. On subsequent runs, running normally should suffice.

Images

Screenshot of program

Sample theme screenshot

ThemeshooterTK

ThemeshooterTK is a cross-platform, Python based clone of ThemeShooter made by HoKaze.

Currently it cannot save screenshots, and previews them instead, so you must do a screengrab and crop to save it. ~~Also text alpha is not supported.~~ As of version 0.03 text alpha has been implemented and should work.

It can be downloaded here : Media:Themeshootertk.zip
