      What the title says. I did a theme and now I need a little guidance on the documentation and uploading parts of themeing. How do I structure my files to get them on the official theme repo? How do I take preview screenshots?

      Where can I get some more artistic help on the themes I am building?

      Thanks in advance, this community rocks!

        @linkreincarnate For screenshots look at installing either scrot or raspi2png Information on both packages is readily available online.
        Edit: scrot only works within x.

          Emulationstation can be run on Windows/ Linux PCs and I find it's much better quality than raspi2png (makes screenshots quite fuzzy from my tests)

          If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

              @linkreincarnate Then you need to do it on the Pi. Use raspi2png
