I'm looking for an application that is designed for making GUI screenshots: It should capture window shadows (as in Vista & 7) but keep the background transparent, overlapping menus/sub windows should be captured as well.

Does anyone know such a program? (I remember one but unfortunately don't know the name anymore...)

Screenshot Captor can save transparent PNGs with drop shadows.

Thank you, I'll see if it does what I need.

Edit:
Seems to be more for the general user. I really remember that there is a program for my purpose...

I think I found the tool I searched for (I have to admit that it was pretty hard to find):
http://www.windowclippings.com/

Good thing is that it seems to include all child windows of my parent window and shadows etc. of course. That's exactly what I needed!

I'm don't have Vista, but I thought that if you use Alt+PrintScreen it will take a screenshot with the dropshadow, but without the window below.

Just tried it and Alt+PrintScreen captures the active window but not its shadow

If you can't find anything, you could always capture the window using BitBlt(). I don't think it would be possible for you to capture the shadow this way, though.

I have this http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 14&t=40444 but no shadows, you just select the part of the screen you want and snap it to a graphic. Probably not what you're looking for.

Thanks for your other suggestions. Anyway, the tool I posted is exactly what I need because I want the shadow & area around overlapping sub windows to be transparent.

i'm using FastStone Capture
