@Nismo I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.

New concept for basic view

Preview of the theme running on the Pi,

@lilbud Looks cool. You can take screenshots on your pi if you install this script and kick off the command using ssh.

@HurricaneFan taking a picture on my phone was quicker, and I didn't have it installed.

@lilbud I'm really digging on this theme. Looks great!

[HurricaneFan]

@lilbud I totally get it, just thought I'd point out a different way of taking screenshots.

[lilbud]

@HurricaneFan and I already had putty open, since closing the putty window also closes ES.

Looks great, keep it up! Gonna keep my eye on this

@HurricaneFan

Sounds very interesting.
I am not so savvy when it comes to linux stuff and their command stuff. Any installation guide for dummies?
What files go where and so on...

@lilbud so is that a yes when it become stable because I would love to use this theme with motionblue which has support for video btw lilbud you are awesome

[HurricaneFan]

@FlyingTomahawk I think this will work for you

sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev
git clone https://github.com/AndrewFromMelbourne/raspi2png.git

cd raspi2png
make

Then it can be called from an ssh session with:
raspi2png

@Nismo How would I add video support to the theme?

[Nismo]

@lilbud Read first post here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5823/looking-for-testers-for-es-video-preview-on-raspberry-pi/2?page=1

And don't forget that any "extra" tagged images would be on top of video.

[lilbud]

Thinking of adding a dark theme.

[meleu]

@lilbud please, do it! :-)

[lilbud]

@meleu Done and done

@lilbud I was testing my tool to generate launching images with the flat theme and noticed that sega32x is using the Nintendo logo. Check it out: https://github.com/lilbud/es-theme-flat/blob/master/sega32x/theme.xml#L20

edit: same with the flat-dark theme, look: https://github.com/lilbud/es-theme-flat-dark/blob/master/sega32x/theme.xml#L20

edit 2: I've made PRs fixing them.
