How to avoid white border on Spectacle screenshots?

This does not happen on my system. I suspect that your snapshot includes the window drop shadow - I don't have one. What Desktop theme and Look and Feel do you have selected?

Custom Keyboard Shortcuts contains the "Meta-Print" combo for Spectacle to take a screenshot of the ACTIVE window. Also, at least on my Neon User Edition, after I activate a screenshot a popup occurs in the lower right corner giving me an opportunity to open it with Gwenview. I click on that "open" button and in Gwenview I use the crop command to crop off any part of the edges I don't want.

Do you mean gnome-screenshot? I've used that as well as scrot. Neither did the border thing by default. But I'd rather stay with the default tool.

Try Screenshot, works well for me.

When I take a screenshot of the active window with Spectacle, there's a white border around the image. Is there an option to get rid of that border?

This is on Kubuntu 16.04 with Plasma 5.8 LTS.
