Screenshot Captor / Windows 7 Modal Dialogs - Aero Glass problem
« on: August 20, 2010, 07:49 AM »
Hello everyone.
In our company I am the one to do all the screenshot-related stuff. I really like doing screenshots and I think the results of my work are pretty good (thanks to Screenshot Capture)! For 2 years now there is a problem which no screenshot tool could solve but maybe you guys know a solution.
When capturing screenshots of modal dialogs (the ones where the "main program" can't be activated) the aero glass window somehow gets corrupted. But let me show you an example:
This is how the screenshot SHOULD look like (I used capture full screen and cropped the image):

This is how the screenshot actually looks like when using "capture active window":

The window somehow loses its focus and the rounded borders are being lost.
Regular windows look great when using the settings:

I hope you can help me since capturing modal dialogs requires additional work while capturing regular windows is great. Batch capturing screenshots took me weeks last year, with Screenshot Captor it's a matter of days (~100 Screenshots with different content * 13 Languages).
Another question I have is not dependent on Screenshot Captor. It is about using ClearType or not when taking Screenshots. Especially when printing the screenshots. But this topic is worth a unique thread.
Thanks everyone for your help!
