“Types of Screen Shots
While taking a full screen screen shot might suffice when all you
want to do is brag about your desktop organization skills, more
involved tasks require more options. With KSnapshot, there are 5
different capture modes:

“1. Full Screen
By default KSnapshot will take a screen shot of the entire screen,
including the desktop and any present windows. To take a shot,
click “New Snapshot” and then click once, anywhere on
the screen.

“2. Window Under Cursor
With this mode, only the window your mouse pointer is hovering over
will be in the screen shot. For this option, you may check
“include window decorations” if you want them in the
shot. Click “New Snapshot” and then click the window
you want to capture.”
