General Software Discussion / Re: Any software that could generate screenshot like this [pic]

« on: March 17, 2009, 08:01 PM »

you enabled the greyed out text input box for specifying height.

-nosh (March 15, 2009, 08:10 AM)

I'm not sure why you need to specify height if you've got an auto-scroll mechanism.  Can't you just scroll as far as you need, without specifying in advance?   Admittedly, I'm most familiar with HyperSnap, which works that way.  The only time I have to specify a size in HyperSnap is if I want to do an extended horizontal capture.  I have the feeling I'm missing the point here, and I'd appreciate someone clueing me in.  TIA.

FSCapture is another one, that does scrolling windows and it's free for home use:

General Software Discussion / Re: Layers: screenshot with layers - Feature Req for Mouser's Screenshot Captor

« on: March 15, 2009, 10:01 AM »

Thanks for the reply mouser 

IMO this is not an 'effect', but rather a improvment of the capture engine. Technically speaking taking a full screenshot is get hWnd 0x00 DC and convert it to bitmap. But apps like Layers is a innovation in the capture process, you have to iterate the active & non-active window to get the whole picture.

There are a lot of screen capture software out there, but one function might make Screenshot Captor unique is layered screenshot. If Screenshot Captor do not implement this, I think some other software might fill the gap.

I used some "Gray Button Activator" hack input height.

Sounds interesting, can you elaborate on this?

-nosh (March 15, 2009, 02:23 AM)

I use Windows Enabler but if you google "enable greyed out windows controls", you will find out other similar tools.

-PhilB66 (March 15, 2009, 02:29 AM)

Thank you PhilB66

I have a similar app but much smaller, sorry it's in Chinese but it's easy to understand, switch to any window and check the box and there you go :-)

It's freeware and freely redistributable and could be freely modified.

Thank you nosh, cyberdiva. SnagIt worked! I think SnagIt is so big for a reason.

To capture GTalk, the Extended Window Capture didn't work, I used some "Gray Button Activator" hack input height and got it captured.

Yes, there are several, I think. When you capture the scrolling window, you are simply asked to choose, by placing your mouse, whether the frame should be included or not. I made this one easily, using the $20 FastStone Capture. You can always edit your snapshots, in the in-build editor:

I made this screenshot by hand, with a minor mistake (two scroll buttons).

Is there any tool out there that could make screenshot like this? Auto scroll capture with window borders?

if using Vista try

[Select]

netsh interface set interface <interface name> DISABLED
For example to disable an interface with its default name “Local Area Connection,” run:
netsh interface set interface “Local Area Connection” DISABLED
To enable the interface, you'd then run:
netsh interface set interface “Local Area Connection” ENABLED

General Software Discussion / Layers: screenshot with layers - Feature Req for Mouser's Screenshot Captor

« on: January 22, 2009, 06:39 AM »

http://layersapp.com/

OK, another brilliant app under Mac.

I really hope Mouser's Screenshot Captor could do this 

and some post-processing special effects would be cool. OK I am trying to describe one, sorry for my bad English

Put the 'layers' in 3D view, separate the window layers Z-distence a bit, and view the windows from a tilt angle for extemely cool screenshot.

The screenshot will somehow like the Salesforce for Google Apps: Product Tour

Or just like Vista's 3D Aero switch but more realist and screenshot-like. The relative position of window remain unchanged.

I call these donate-software a kind of neo-shareware.  People have to 'donate' to get a certain function, people have to 'donate' to get the first preview, blah blah blah. How's that different from a shareware? Sign.

Graphics drawing speed isn't everything - have you tried resizing the control panel in Vista? Graphics are smooth enough, but it feels super laggy. if that is because it's a WPF program, then WPF sucks

-f0dder (January 08, 2009, 02:47 PM)

control pannel is laaaaagy because Windows has to collect *.cpl under system32.

btw Silverlight is built on top of WPF.

IMHO WPF is just a 'managed' version of GDI

I wonder which new Vista API calls they're using in order to make it initially non-XP compatible? Seems relatively retarded and pretty incompetent to me, especially when considering the huge base of XP installs still available...

Don't tell me they require DX10 for the shell

The reqire the Aero API on Vista. Some WPF, too.
