<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" width="428" height="249" /></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" width="429" height="249" /></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>
<h1>Taking a screenshot from Terminal</h1>
<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">~> Screenshot --help
Screenshot [OPTION]... Creates a bitmap of the current screen
OPTION
-o, --options Show options window first
-m, --mouse Have the mouse pointer in the screenshot
-b, --border Include the window border with the screenshot
-w, --window Use active window instead of the entire screen
-d, --delay=seconds Take screenshot after specified delay [in seconds]
-s, --silent Saves the screenshot without the application window
overwrites --options, saves to home directory as png
Note: OPTION -b, --border takes only effect when used with -w, --window
