<h2><img src="../../images/apps-images/screenshot-icon_64.png" alt="screenshot-icon_64.png" width="64" height="64" />Screenshot</h2>

<p>Besides normal screenshots taken via <span class="key">PRINT</span>, which puts a PNG of the current screen into <span class="path">/boot/home/</span>, this application provides some useful options.</p>
<p><img id="sreenshot" src="../images/apps-images/screenshot.png" alt="screenshot.png" /></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 <span class="button">Options</span> dialog has a few more settings:</p>
<p><img id="sreenshot-options" src="../images/apps-images/screenshot-options.png" alt="screenshot-options.png" /></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 <span class="button">Take Screenshot</span>.</p>

Taking a screenshot from Terminal</h2>
<p>The Screenshot application is also usable from Terminal or a script.<br />
<span class="cli">Screenshot --help</span> shows the familiar options as parameters:</p>

<pre class="terminal">~&gt; Screenshot --help
