This sounds really cool.  Looking forward to trying it out.

One man's feature is another man's bug.  :) While admittedly most screen
shots don't want the UI shown, a very large percentage of screen shots
I've shared were created to show the UI components as part of a tutorial
or to demonstrate an issue.  I would prefer the screen shot code to
generate an image identical to what is shown on the screen.

Perhaps at some point the 'huge screenshot code' could become the
UI-less way to take a screen shot since, as I understand it, this code
was intended for high-res, high-quality captures.
