Updating. The issue might be caused by a change in video drivers. On 23 Nov, two days after my last successful snapshot with decoration, I upgraded the nVidia proprietary driver from 285.05.09 to 290.10. Please see my related post on Kubuntuforums.net for illustrations: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3119632.msg280941#msg280941 With desktop effects disabled, Oxygen's Active Window Glow is also disabled, and the blue one-pixel decorator appears in the snapshot. But when effects are enabled, the glow decorator fails to appear in the snapshot, even when "Include window decorations" is enabled. Another update. I should be clearer: it's not the full decorator that's missing, but only the glow. When "Include window decorations" is _not_ checked, the title bar and buttons do not appear in the snapshot, as expected. When the option _is_ checked, the title bar and buttons do appear, but the glow is missing. I experienced the same problem, but I was able to fix it by enabling the Screenshot desktop effect (System settings | Desktop Effects | All Effects | Screenshot). You're right, that worked! Thanks. I guess we can mark this bug closed, then. But it leaves me wondering whether the description of the effect is correct? It says "Saves screenshot of the active window in the home directory." It's KSnapshot that's actually doing the capture-and-save process though, right? So wouldn't it be more accurate to describe this effect as "Include window decoration effects in screenshots" or something similar? Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug. Spectacle is the replacement for ksnapshot now. Please test again and file a new bug for Spectacle if you still have issues. Thank you! |
