Full-screen display

Post #1by Boux » 06.09.2006, 19:36

When I switch to full-screen display with alt-enter (in XP), the screenshot function gives an all-black jpeg picture.

Sorry Boux. My full screen screenshots look the way they're supposed to. I tried using F10, and the menu at the top, and both .jpg and .png. All of them are perfect screenshots. Maybe it's resolution dependent? I'm running 1280x1024, my monitor's max resolution. Using Celestia 1.4.1.

I've had that same problem for some time now:
full screen 1600x1200 snapshots are all black. I'm not sure when it started. One of the 1.3 versions, I think.

I've been getting around it by maximizing Celestia's window on the desktop. Image Capture of that works fine.

p.s.
XP's "print screen" does capture the full screen image, but it's awkward to use:

Run Celestia
Switch to full-screen
Press the "Print screen" key (captures to clipboard)
Switch Celestia to Window mode (or exit)
Run any paint program
Type Ctrl-V (copy from clipboard)
Save to file.

Presumably there's a Linux equivalent.
