Make sure you have ImageMagick installed (its a versatile console based image manipulation toolset), else get it from [url]http://www.imagemagick.org/[/url] Now, you can use the command You can also specify a single windows of which to capture an image (root captures whole screen) To view the image, type [b]Timed screenshots[/b] Now for the fun part, we shall use the sleep command to get the screenshot after a small delay, so that we can arrange the screen the way we like ;) This statement will first execute "sleep", so it will go idle for 5 seconds, in which you can do what you like, and then execute "import" to capture your screen. Also, Captura is a simple tool to get screenshots, and it is vert easy to use [url]http://www.hernansoft.com/downloads_en.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
