Window Clippings 2.1: How to open the Options Window

Did you know there are three ways to open the options window? 

The options window is the single interface for controlling all aspects of Window Clippings. It is a tabbed window that allows you to specify what you want it to do with captured images, whether you want an icon to appear in the notification area, whether you want to include window shadows, and much more. It is also where you register Window Clippings using your license key. So naturally it is important to know how to find the options window!

Window Clippings will by default show an icon in the notification area. The simplest way to show the options window is to right-click this icon and select “Options” from the context menu that appears.

If you have chosen to hide the icon you still have a few more options. You can right-click the capture screen itself and select “Options” from its context menu. Finally you can use the “/options” command line argument to show the options window directly:

windowclippings.exe /options

  • Nice article, thanks!

  • Prajwal Tuladhar: If I’m not mistaken, Cropper is primarily about capturing rectangular regions of the screen. Window Clippings is primarily about capturing window regions (by simply double-clicking a window). In particular it can easily capture Windows Vista window shadows and “Aero” translucency. Window Clippings also provides the ability to capture rectangular regions.

  • General question: does it support multiple-monitors? How about clipping from video overlays?

    Cheers,

  • Al Hunt: Multiple monitors are supported. You can easily capture screenshots that span monitors. Give it a try. It’s real easy to get started.

    I’m not sure what you mean by video overlays. You can capture windows with video playback such as Media Center. Output is however limited to images. A future version may support video capture and output.
