Bildschirmfoto (Screenshot)
Konsolidiert in v4.1
Ab v4.1 ist die Screenshot-Funktion direkt in die Desktop-Shell integriert. Screenshots werden per Tastenkuerzel (Ctrl+Shift+3/4/5) ausgeloest, ein Toast zeigt die Vorschau. Die separate App wurde deaktiviert. Siehe Topbar-Popovers.
Capture screenshots of the Niuton desktop with annotations, timer delay, and a gallery view.
Overview
Since Niuton is a cloud desktop in the browser, the Screenshot app captures the Niuton desktop content (not the physical screen). It uses html2canvas to render the DOM to an image.
Capture Modes
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Full Desktop | Captures the entire Niuton desktop |
| Region | Drag to select a rectangular area |
| Window | Capture a single app window |
Keyboard Shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action |

After capturing, annotate directly on the screenshot:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
| Arrow | Draw directional arrows |
| Rectangle | Highlight areas |
| Ellipse | Circular highlights |
| Freehand | Draw freely |
| Text | Add text labels |
| Blur / Pixelate | Redact sensitive content |
| Numbering | Add numbered markers (1, 2, 3 for tutorials) |
Color and stroke width are configurable for all annotation tools.

v3.12 Fixes v3.12
Screenshot-Timeout
Der html2canvas-Timeout wurde erhoeht, um Abbrueche bei grossen Desktops mit vielen offenen Fenstern zu verhindern. Zuvor konnte die Erfassung bei komplexen DOMs fehlschlagen.

Technology
Uses html2canvas (~50KB) for DOM-to-canvas rendering. A canvas overlay handles region selection and annotations.
