Description Ulrich Leopold 2004-02-06 10:56:02 UTC 
I am missing the the feature from the previous gimp version 1.x where I
coudl take screenshots without window decoration. This feature isn't
anylonger implemented. But it has some big impact on productivity if you
have to strip off the window decoration everytime you take a screenshot. I
hope you can re-implement this feature.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2004-02-06 12:00:50 UTC 
It would be quite difficult to add this feature back. So far noone
plans on doing it though. Patches are welcomed.

As a workaround, you can use xwd to take your screenshots just like in
gimp-1.2. Support for reading xwd files is still available.
Comment 2 Samuli Kärkkäinen 2004-03-14 23:16:12 UTC 
I would much like this feature also. Lack of it makes gimp unviable
choice for many types of screenshotting purposes.
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2004-03-15 00:29:02 UTC 
Use xwd then, the xwd import plug-in is still available.
Comment 4 Maurits Rijk 2004-05-26 12:49:24 UTC 
Setting a few target milestones now that 2.2 is coming closer.
Comment 5 Sven Neumann 2005-03-22 21:32:53 UTC 
Similar to bug #144788, this should be fixable by adjusting the area of the
taken pixbuf which is actually used to create the image. The problem is to get
the size of the window decorations.

Okay, implemented in HEAD for Unix if libXmu is available (which it should be on
any modern system).

	* configure.in
	* plug-ins/common/screenshot.c: allow option of screenshot
	without decorations if libXmu is present (fixes bug #133626),
	clean up code a bit.
