Thank you @redapg! I found them.
But the screenshots from C:...rfactor2/ModDev/Userdata/ScreenShots has still the black background.
Are you sure? It might look black, but if you open in something like paint.net it will be transparent.

As @khan1670 has said already, please check the Screenshots in a Picture Software/Editor that can handle png Files.Thank you @redapg! I found them.
But the screenshots from C:...rfactor2/ModDev/Userdata/ScreenShots has still the black background.
If everything is set up correctly, they have to have the transparent Background.

2022-05-16 Updated script
---------------------------------
Great showroom, thanks.
Here is Imagemagick batching command I just wrote for fast converting all icons locally, including 512x512 icon for old UI.
How to use:
1. Install Imagemagick
2. Take screenshots according to Easy Icon Creator Showroom guide, then rename screenshots to their corresponding skin name.
3. Create a folder called IconSource inside Teams folder. Move all renamed screenshots into this IconSource folder.
4. Open Command Prompt in Teams folder, copy following commands into Command Prompt and hit Enter.
Note:
This script auto-crop all empty space, then resize image to different icon size. So all you need is to take screenshots and rename them, then run the commands.
If you don't want transparent background for old UI icon, just remove -background none code from last line of command.

If i understand correctly (please correct me if i am wrong) this whole procedure wont work in new ui right?
I mean, lets say that i manage to produce those png's (by taking snapshots in garage's normal mod and not in dev mode, i am working on this procedure), will i be able to see those snapshots in new ui? See the pic below.
Or will it ONLY WORK in dev mode?

@lagg thank you.
I am trying to use the EIC showroom but i get no car image inside the devmode garage showroom.
I have copy my mod (folder name Corsa Cup 2010) which lies in the:
\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Installed\Vehicles\
into the
steamapps\common\rFactor 2\ModDev\Vehicles
but i get no car preview in tuning menu (showroom). Any idea what can be wrong?

hey here, you need to put mas files under "1.25"
\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Installed\Vehicles\Corsa Cup 2010\1.25
into Corsa Cup 2010
steamapps\common\rFactor 2\ModDev\Vehicles\Corsa Cup 2010
here. Note that there shouldn't be version folder.
If still doesn't work, you should using mas2 tools to extract it into folder with correct structure.. That might need to look at gen file contains.

To use car mods in DevMode, must unpack mod first. At least unpack the main file (which contains file such as GEN INI CAM HDV), and with correct folder structure and file name(mostly same as RF1).
You can read official guide here:
Car Modding Introduction v1.0
And other car modding guide here:

@Corti sent me a working CORSA version to try it. Had to change some values but it worked! I have some other mods that do not have working thumbnails but while i know how to capture those ones, i do not now how to pack the files into a new working mod

Repack pngs into MAS file is simple enough because you just need to drag all pngs into opened mas file in MAS2 tool, just into the MAS which contains the cars veh file. Then you need to use that tool to pack it as rfcmp then it can be installed in normal mode.@Corti sent me a working CORSA version to try it. Had to change some values but it worked! I have some other mods that do not have working thumbnails but while i know how to capture those ones, i do not now how to pack the files into a new working mod
The process might be easy, just click the 2nd last button (maybe it is) on mas2 tool's toolbar, then choose create single cmp package. Then create new component, input Corsa Cup 2010, set version number, then add mas files using first button right of the file list. then push "package", done. (without my computer I can just tell you from my memory, so might be not very correct, but it can work like that process.)
PS, if you help more mods without thumbs to get it, our players will appreciate you, but you need to get the original modders permission first.

I am on the way to do it. There are some exceptional mods out there, most of them old ones or in beta phase, where i want to make some car screenshots. Eg the old and forgotten lada cup (http://www.internationalsimracing.com/forum/index.php?topic=3569.0) or the very nice AE 86 toyota mod (https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/ae86-club-v0-431.65855/), which will be time consuming as there are many liveries

the AE86 club mod is good, the original modder might to do it but need to wait, but he will continue working on that so don't worry. (I tried to convert his mod then he do it himself so I quit to avoid problem).I am on the way to do it.

That is a good video but i have zero knowledge about basic stuff. So i d love to see an easy to understand video that starts from scratch and of course with an example (e.g basic mod structure when you extract it, what are those files (mft and mas files), how to add stuff in files - like the screenshots i ve captured for the corsa mod, how to repack etc). Just a simple 1-2 min video.
PS Example of the video that i want to see:
It will start with the mod extensions. Rfcmp and rfmod (i do not know if there are others too)... It will state the differences. It will say
- how to install the mod (thank God i know that
),- where the game extracts its folders (i think it is in \steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Installed\Vehicles\)
- what is the a basic mod structure (e.g mft and some mas files).
- what are those files
- how to unzip those files (e.g with the mas2.exe tool)
- how to add files (eg the png's into the correct mas file)
- how to repack and create the rfcmp mode
etc etc..

All these Information can be found here in the Forum and elsewhere in the Internet, because they have been asked and answered a lot Times before.
The "Problem" is, that you have to search for it, but you can find everything.
I can not talk for Others, but for myself it is an easy Decision, to choose between spending my limited free Time with Modding or with writing Tutorials (what i also have done in the Past already).
With that Options, Modding is always the Winner.

Has anyone else experienced that screenshots aren't saved in the rFactor 2\ModDev\UserData\ScreenShots?
They're saved in the steam-screenshot folder for rF2... But those don't seem to work properly... JPG nor PNG, don't matter...
Why aren't they stored by the game itself in it's native folder?

Screenshots do not get saved in the rf2 default folder at the moment with the new UI. If your using F12 for screenshots there saved in the main Steam folder, path below. All my screenshots have saved OK as jpg.
Steam\userdata\365741437\760\remote\365960\screenshots
Probably a bug with the new UI.
