Or, in the traditional UNIX way using pipes and filters, grab a pic of the window, then adjust it: ======= #! /bin/bash if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then echo "Usage: $0 filename" echo "where 'filename' is the name of the destination PNG filename; '.png'" echo " will be appended to 'filename'." echo echo "Run this script, bring the window you want to save to the front," echo "wait for the cursor to change to a big +, and click inside the" echo "target window. Then use your favorite image editor to crop and" echo "adjust the image as desired." exit 1 fi echo "You have three seconds to bring the target window to the top." echo "When the cursor changes to a big +, xwd will copy the window you click." # Wait a few seconds so the target window can be brought to the top sleep 3 # Now get the sceenshot. xwd | xwdtopnm | pnmtopng > $1.png ======= Note that this only works with the visible portion of a window, and is limited to the resolution of your display.
