scrot can help with this, a little. (it is my favorite screenshot-grabber too). To grab a png: $ scrot -s foo.png Then, either click on the window you want, and it will capture just that window, or drag a rectangle to select a specific region of your desktop to capture. I *think* you can also click the background to capture the entire desktop, but that doesn't seem to work with the pre-alpha window manager I'm using (e17). Combined with a general purpose command-launcher (like the gnome command launch dialog... whatever it's called) you can use scrot w/out opening a terminal. I usually just issue: scrot -s /tmp/foo.png (in either Enlightenment's command launcher or with dmenu under xmonad) -- no new windows involved :). --Rogan _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
