Ksnapshot Screenshooter bug

[Feathers McGraw]

Are you?

Not any more, Steve's fix worked for me.

Are you other guys all using Xrender?

Are you?

[Feathers McGraw]

Awesome thank you for that, it will save me quite a bit of time.

Are you other guys all using Xrender? I'm pretty sure I didn't change that setting from the default, so I'm still wondering what was different about bennypr0fane's system and mine that triggered the bug.

[SteveRiley]

There ya go

Hey Feathers, how about on your system?

[bennypr0fane]

What compositing type are you using? If you try a different one, does the problem persist or go away?

I was using XRender. Switched to OpenGL3.1, problem goes away!

[bennypr0fane]

do you have "include window decorations" checked in Ksnapshot ?

No, not normally. I just tried it > looks fine!
However, if I disable it, window decoarations are in the screenshot anyway - bottom and right border cut off.

My GPU is also Nvidia, GeForce 8200, very old though - not using the latest driver either, bcs it screws up some Steam games.

Let's try and narrow down the problem...I can see Vinny's using an nvidia GPU, how about the rest of you? My laptop just has integrated Intel graphics (haswell generation).

nvidia with latest nvidia driver

BTW the "halo" probably isn't the name of the effect as it appears in the menu, just a description -

The name is System Settings is

window glow

No problem with KSnapshot here, also with an Intel GPU.

[Feathers McGraw]

Vinny, i thought you were likely to know about compiz!

BTW the "halo" probably isn't the name of the effect as it appears in the menu, just a description - I wasn't at my laptop so I couldn't check (and still can't).

Thanks both of you for the screenshots, I'll try and take some soon but they look just like bennypr0fane's.

Looks fine here



with the active window glow included.

[vinnywright]

not seeing this @hear



But I do not see a "halo" or a "shadow" effect in my system settings>desktop effects either ..........

do you have "include window decorations" checked in Ksnapshot ?

FYI: the effects in Kubuntu are NOT from compiz .......it's a kwin thing ,,,,,,,,if you install compiz in Kubuntu you nead the "fusion-icon" so you can switch on/off kwin wile using compiz........or so it was at one time

[Feathers McGraw]

I really can't say, I've never really messed around with my desktop effects much, I tend to just leave things the way they are set up originally.

I was curious to see if it might be a Qt thing, so I tried screenshotting a gnome program to see if that worked...no dice, same problem.

I've looked around a bit and couldn't find much about it, someone was saying it could be a compiz problem but I don't know enough about graphical stuff to say either way.
