Better resolution for Hypertheme screenshots & couple other questions

[stevaside]

Just started trying to use Hypertheme & have been trying to take screenshots of my arcade themes, but noticed even when setting the quality to high, they don't come out too great... lots of jagged edges, etc...Before I take one I keep getting the "Image will be upscaled to 1024 x 768, for best results increase window size. Take snapshot anyway" message.  Guessing this might have something to do with it.  If so can someone please explain to me how to exactly set things up to take the highest resolution possible, the same when scrolling through my actual games

Another question-I'm planning to do this to quite a few game themes, is there a way to make it a little less time consuming & have it save multiple screenshots in the folder instead of naming it the same filename & overwriting the previous one? Otherwise I'll have to copy & paste each individual screenshot somewhere else

& Finally...How can I take a screenshot with the animated parts as well? For example when I load up the Frogger theme in Hypertheme, Frogger himself jumps across the background, but then dissapears..Can't I have it to where I can freeze the animation & take a screenshot with everything combined?

Many thanks in advance

The answer to all of those questions is no.  Except the second question.  You could use something like Lightshot to screenshot and save automatically.  Everything else is no.

So your saying bad quality screenshots are the only options within Hypertheme?

What does the increase window size message mean then?

The resolution that the images are in is the resolution that you are stuck with.  There is no way to upscale that outside of finding better images and replacing them in HyperTheme.  I have never gotten that message in HyperTheme but it seems as though maybe you have your resolution really low on your pc??? maybe??  Who knows?  I did not even know HyperTheme could screenshot and an outside program would do that better.  Lightshot would allow you to scroll through each wheel in HyperSpin and screenshot from there, saving each with a unique name so there would be no reason to use HyperTheme.

 

  What you are trying to do is going to involve an insane amount of time and for the life of me I cannot understand why you would want screenshots of themes.

I want decent fanart images for my arcade game collection to set as backgrounds in another front end.....Very little seems to be out there

The resolution looked OK when they were in the wheel, but look crappy when a screenshot is taken in Hypertheme..Someone else recommended Lightshot as well, guess I'll look into that

Lightshot is a screen capture software that allows you to select a section of the screen and output it as a file.  You could use that to screen shot the wheels as you scroll through.  That would be much better than using HyperTheme I would think.
