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.
- Open the Terminal application.
- 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.
Thanks, this is helpful.
I actually like the shadow. I don’t know why, but it makes screenshots look a little nicer to me.
Thanks a lot. I’ve been looking for this solution for a long time.
Thank you. I was looking for this to produce screenshots of an print article.
