it's not easy. if the pixels are not visible - you can't grab them. so windows on another desktop, or iconified, or that are hidden by a window on top will be garbage/inaccessible or contain the contents of another window. you could loop through all windows, move them to the top and "wait" some period of time for the app to draw, then grab, then move it back to where it was - but the effect would be ugly and you'd have to do it regularly to keep the content vaguely useful. so in the end - the answer is no. it's not easy, and the results will be always sub-par. just don't bother. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
