screenshot problem

Post by thany »

I've checked "capture our application only", but madExcept 3.0a still creates a screenshot the size of my desktop. Everything is white, except the area where the application would be. I can imagine the reason for this would be to also grab stuff like floating toolbars, but what if there aren't any?

So I propose the screenshot to be cropped. That'll probably look a bit more elegant. Also, since we're using PNG anyway, you might wanna make that "empty" space in the screenshot nicely transparent instead of white.

This was already suggested recently on my newsserver. I'll implement that in one of the next builds.

That's a new one!! :) I'll have to check how complicated it is to store an alpha channel. I will do that only if neither increases the file size nor the madExcept code size by much.
