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 subtheme or a custom theme.
Once the theme is just about ready to go, visit the front page of the site to take the screenshot. As 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.
Adding a screenshot for our theme can be done through the following steps:
1. On the front page, press ALT + Print Screen to take a screenshot of the active window.
