---------------------------------
- Install ImageMagick ("apt install imagemagick")
- Open a window (Nemo for instance)
- Press Alt+Print-Screen to take a screenshot of the window
- Go to your Pictures directory and move the screenshot to ~/screenshot.png
- Open a terminal and type:

WHICH THUMBNAIL IS USED BY CINNAMON TO REPRESENT A THEME?
---------------------------------------------------------
- Cinnamon first tries to find a metacity-1/thumbnail.png file in the theme directory
- If it doesn't find any, it looks in /usr/share/cinnamon/thumbnails/metacity-1/
