Disable drop shadow on OS X screen shots
Recently I found myself doing numerous screenshots on OS X. While the drop-shadow effect that gets included in the resulting PNG files looks nice on screen, it tends to come out rather bad on black and white printouts. As there is no GUI setting for this one has to use the "defaults" command on a terminal:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true killall SystemUIServer
Instead of killing the SystemUIServer process you could also log out and back in. To restore the shadow, just delete this property again:
defaults delete com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow killall SystemUIServer
Oh, and just in case you did not know: These are the keyboard shortcuts to take screen shots in the first place:
- Fullscreen: Shift-Cmd-3
- Rahmen: Shift-Cmd-4
- Fenster: Shift-Cmd-4, Space
