Creating a "windowshot" instead of a screenshot

(1/7) > >>

Rich:
This is a modified version of screenshot.sh that will produce a png of the window you click on. It depends on xwininfo
to run so you need to install xorg-7.(5 or 6)-bin.tcz only.

Rich:
I forgot to mention, if you click on the desktop, it will create a screenshot.

tinypoodle:
Excellent! :D

One observation: the aterm from which command is executed must not overlap the window clicked on, or it would end up being included in the windowshot.

Rich:
Hi tinypoodle
That is correct. The "picture" will be of whatever is visible on the screen inside the coordinates of that particular
window.

tinypoodle:
Not being Rich but just assuming you were replying to my post...

Also, I found that areas of windows outside screen borders will be painted gray.
