Mark Magennis <markmagennis -at- YAHOO -dot- COM mentioned the "stripey scroll
bar" effect in ScreenCam.
I have seen this in a few static screen captures and was wondering if
there is any way around it, short of doing a pixel-for-pixel color
swap. Actually, the ones I've seen have more of a checkerboard
pattern when *printed* (not on screen).
Does this occur in the process of capturing the screen elements
(using Ctrl + Print Screen)? Is the app (Paint Shop Pro) I use to
make the screen cap into an image file causing it? Is it the format
in which I save the image (usually .png or .wmf)? Ack. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alex
