How to remove the shadow from Mac screenshots

Mac users may have noticed that whenever you take a screenshot of a window on Leopard, the shadow that surrounds the window is also included. If you don’t want screen captures to include the shadow, you can set Leopard not to include it.

  1. Open the Terminal application.
  2. Type the following command, and press Enter:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true && killall SystemUIServer

You can set it back to normal with the following command:
defaults delete com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow && killall SystemUIServer.
And remember, selling Apple computer may be a good idea, as the new MacBook Pro is already on the market.
