6. At this point you can either accept your selection or click another window to change your selection. To capture your selection as a screenshot simply press the Enter key on your keyboard. You can also capture the selection by double-clicking the mouse or by pressing Ctrl+C on your keyboard. You will then be prompted to save the resulting screenshot.

  1. Hello,

    Great software! However, as I’m evaluating this I realised that transparency and rounded edges does not work for our company’s applications. Our applications made using LabView (graphical programming).

    So the screen capture works (most times), but regardless of the VIsual Effects or Background settings, it would capture the window with visible background… and in some rare cases, a smaller window gets a cut-off.

    It probably isn’t Window Clippings fault, especially since the 7capture tool doesn’t work correctly on our software either. And likely related to how the windows were programmed.
    But, I’m wondering if perhaps you have an idea why that would be since you have more experience dealing with software windows, and such. Have you seen similar cases?

    • Hello Immanuel,

      I’ve no idea as to what could be going wrong. Do you have an evaluation program that I could download and try out in order to have a look at what happens?

      • Hi Pierre,

        Thanks for the response to this..
        Sorry for the delayed reply from my end. I will send you a lightweight application that you could test for yourself. Please, give me a couple more days.

        Thanks.
