Screen shot while using WB5 skins?
Sunday, February 12, 2006 by LoneWolf62 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
OK, let me start off by saying I'm cheap!, I don't use any expensive paint programs. At this time I use PaintDotNet, IrfanView, and MSPaint for WB images, and IrfanView is what I use to take a screen shot for a WB skin, but with the release of WB5 and translucent window frames and such, IrfanView doesn't capture the screen shot correctly!. Is there a program I can use that will capture the screen with translucent windows and not cost an arm and a leg to do so?. Oh, and please don't say SkinStudio, I of course do have that, but I've never been able to get a properly layed out screen shot from it either!. Thanks to all who take the time to reply to my request!.

I'm not sure what you mean by not capturing the screenshot correctly.
I do things the same as you. I hit Print Screen and paste into Irfanview for screenshots. I can see through what I am supposed to see through in the screenshot.

I think he's talking about using the capture/screenshot feature within Irfanview itself. But now that he knows about Prt Scr button, he won't need it. There was a long time when I didn't know about using it myself.

Capture docklet for OD also works nicely for when you just want to take a bunch of shots and put them into an editor later

Thanks everyone for your help!, and yes, I did know about the print screen, but I made the assumption that if IrfanView couldn't do what I wanted that the print screen then paste into paint wouldn't either!, and yes davad70, I was talking about the capture/screenshot feature within IrfanView. Thanks again for the eye opener!.
