Meh. Only way I've managed to take screenshots is to do the screenshot button combo, then keep playing. It seems to only open Snapz Pro _behind_ Lugaru. Once I'm done and feel like quitting, I close Lugaru, and Snapz comes to the front with the screen ready to capture. It's very weird and very annoying. A screenshot button in Lugaru would be really cool.

Especially in Lugaru 2.

Hint. Hint.

Just use Cmd-Shift-3. It's always worked for me.

You might want to freeze time first (With V and debug) though, it might help avoid getting messed up screenshots. Just a theory though.

GAH! Are you using 10.3.9? What the hell am I doing wrong? When I do it, I get a blurred mess.

Nope, 10.4.8. 8)

That makes sense, actually. It must be an OS issue.

How the could hardware possibly have an effect on screenshots?
Most of my cmd-shift-3 screenshots come out just right, sometimes
they come out plain black however, so I just take 3 everytime to be sure.
I don't take alot of screenshots though.

The software might though.

Traitor! Embrace OS9+OSX before it's too late! Think of all the lost apps from the dark ages! Think of the TEACUPS! OH, THE TEACUPS!

(P.S: I think someone just injected me with Stronge. Maybe it was Colicedus.)

cup or mug, it's still tea. We don't have enough stronge tea. Stronge coffee is okay, but I'm not a coffee person myself. Stronge tea for the masses!

(Dudemans avatar reminds me of a little story... But no-one really cares about that...)

Get a better computer. Like windows.
