Description Lasse Liehu 2011-05-10 03:20:23 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have desktop effects and window shadows on (default settings)
2. Take a screenshot of a "window under cursor"
3. Save as jpg or xpm (other types may be affected, but didn't test)

Actual Results:  
The transparent areas of the screenshot (where the window shadows are) are saved as entirely black. The xpm has some transparent areas, though.

Expected Results:  
For formats that don't properly support transparency white could be used as a background for the transparent areas. Or something else. Just no big black borders, please.
