FWIW KWin does this already: you render a while background to an FBO and then draw the window directly into that FBO then copy the pixels from that FBO into an image file. Shadows (+ whatever other effects you have) for free. It should be noted that this requires FBO support though. > > -- > You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity > Team, which is subscribed to unity in ubuntu. > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/717436 > > Title: > Invisible border breaks screenshot applications > > Status in Unity: > Triaged > Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: > In Progress > Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: > Confirmed > > Bug description: > The new invisible border in Unity breaks screenshot applications, such > as "Take Screenshot..." and Alt-PrintScreen.
