One of the coolest features of KDE Applications 15.12 is the addition of a new screenshot utility, called Spectacle, which replaced the well-known KSnapshot tool. Spectacle boasts a great number of new features, including a refreshed user interface, support for taking composite screenshots of pop-up menus, and much more. KSnapshot has been retired after 14 years of activity.
