<p>Besides normal screenshots taken via <spanclass="key">PRINT</span>, which puts a PNG of the current screen into <spanclass="path">/boot/home/</span>, this application provides some useful options.</p>
<p>Starting Screenshot will take a screenshot as usual, but offers from its main window controls to set filename, format and folder before saving the image.</p>
<p>The <spanclass="button">Options</span> dialog has a few more settings:</p>
<p>Besides the obvious, toggle between taking the whole screen or just the active window, including the window border and the mouse pointer, you can enter a delay before a screenshot is taken. Of course, this delay takes only effect if you take a new shot by pressing <spanclass="button">Take Screenshot</span>.</p>
<h1>Taking a screenshot from Terminal</h1>
<p>The Screenshot application is also usable from Terminal or a script.<br/>
<spanclass="cli">Screenshot --help</span> shows the familiar options as parameters:</p>
