Changing the screenshot image of a theme
This recipe details the steps involved in changing the screenshot image associated with a theme. This image provides the user with a preview of what the site will look like when the theme is enabled. This is normally only required when we are working with a sub-theme or a custom theme.
Getting ready
Once the theme is just about ready to go, visit the front page of the site to take the screenshot. Since we are providing a snapshot of the theme, temporarily swap the name of the site with the name of the theme. It might also be useful to prepare some example content for display on the front page to obtain an accurate representation of the style and layout of our theme.
How to do it...
Adding a screenshot for our theme can be done via the following steps:
On the front page, press ALT + Print Screen to take a screenshot of the active window.
Note
Mac users can use Command + Shift + 3 while Linux users should be able to bring up the screenshot utility relevant...
