Description

maim (Make Image) is a utility that takes screenshots of your desktop using imlib2. It's meant to overcome shortcomings of scrot and performs better in several ways. Features: * Allows you to take a screenshot of your desktop and save it in any format. * Allows you to take a screenshot of a predetermined region or window of your desktop. * If slop is installed, it can be used for selecting a region to screenshot. * Allows you to blend the system cursor into screenshots. * Allows you to mask off-screen pixels to be black and transparent in screenshots. (Great for people who use an uneven multi-monitor setup!)
