Wiibrew coder HoKaze has updated his ThemeShooterTk, a cross-platform, Python based clone of ThemeShooter that allows HBC theme creators to create screenshots of their themes to put on the HBC theme repository.

Developer's note:

ThemeShooterTk 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.

Changelog:

• 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!
