ThemeShooter is a small application made to allow HBC theme creators to create screenshots of their themes to put on the HBC theme repository.

User guide

Just run ThemeShooter.exe and click "Browse", then select the theme.zip you want to screenshot.

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.

Screenshots

Changelog

v2.5

v2.0

Text implemented, including colour read from theme.xml.

Improved "the Homebrew Channel" text.
Missing images replaced with ones from "Dark Waters v2" theme by NeoRame, with exception of background.png, which MUST be present.

All images implemented, no text.

-== Variants - ThemeShooterTk ==
-ThemeShooterTk 1.1 is a cross-platform, Python based clone of ThemeShooter made by HoKaze.
-It can be run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and most modern Unix-like operating systems so long as the following requirements are met:
-*Python 2.x (Python 2.6 and 2.7 should work fine)
-*Tkinter (should come with python)
-*Python Imaging Library, PIL (Tends to be included with python)
-*PIL: ImageTk Module (on Linux this tends to be kept separate, look for the "python-imaging-tk" package)
-What started off as a quick and dirty clone of the original ThemeShooter has since grown and whilst it may be behind the original and ThemeShooterX, it should hopefully suffice for some basic "themeshots." I do intend on continuing to add to it on the rare occasion I have time.
-Please check the enclosed readme file for further information, bugs and what to look for in the future.
-==Features==
-As of version 0.11:
-*Dummy text (with alpha)
-*Theme previews
-*Screenshot generation
-*Replaces missing images (apart from the background) with images from Classic theme, Dark Water v2 theme OR a custom theme of your choice
-*Random bubble placement on both preview and screenshots
-*Beginnings of an application database of sorts (possibly expanded later)
-*Basic configuration file support for program settings (will be expanded later)
-*Simple console output option, for debugging and rough speed checks
-*Cross-platform! (Windows-specific bugs fixed)
-*Less ugly buttons!
-*Bugfixes!
-*Support for both List View and Grid View (4:3 only for now)
-*Resizing and rotating of bubbles (finally!)
-*Preferences program for changing some settings via GUI instead of text files
