Install this widget and keep your other widgets in constant fear of being boarded! What does it do to terrorize its Dashboard neighbors you ask? Nothing. It just looks cool.

Pirates, punk rockers, and osteopaths all agree that this is an instant classic among Dashboard widgets.

Capture Me is a screen capture utility for Mac OS X which features a floating capture window and resize ability.
Capture Me is very easy to use - just drag and resize the floating window to cover the area you want to capture. Then click in the window to capture the screenshot. You can resize it, copy it to the clipboard, and save it in a variety of formats and locations. Its behavior is customizable with respect to what happens after a capture.
What advantage does Capture Me hold over the built in OS X screencapture facility? For some tasks, the answer is simple - there is none - the built in capture is elegant and easy to use.
However, there are occasions when its nice to be able to choose what file format your capture saves in, copy it to the clipboard without holding down four keys at once, or resize it on the fly.
Its also common to want to take successive shots of the exact same position on the screen without moving the capture region at all, or make all your captures the same size.
These tasks are trivial with Capture Me, but difficult at best with the built in utilities. Another possible use is as a floating capture pad - see the comments in the review section for an example of one user who does this.
Main features:
- Free!
- Globally floating capture window.
- Fast screen captures (uses OpenGL).
- Ability to down scale captures (proportionally or not).
- Save as PNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, TIFF, or GIFF.
- Adjustable translucency of capture window.
- Nifty capture sound.
- Options to auto-save to desktop, auto-copy to clipboard, etc.
- Barest beginnings of AppleScript support.
- Written with Cocoa - native to Mac OS X.
- Universal binary - Intel, PPC native.

Once in a while, I need to take a picture of the screen with a menu pulled down, in order to document one of my shareware programs. If I did this every day, I suppose I wouldnt mind paying for a screen capture program with all the bells and whistles, but as it is, I resist. Years ago, there was a tiny freeware extension called StillDown, by Gregory M. Robbins, that enabled command-shift-3 screen shots with menus pulled down. But StillDown doesnt work with Mac OS 8. Therefore, I decided to write a new free bare-bones menu snapshot program: MenuCapture.
In Mac OS 8.1 and later, if you pull down a menu with a click rather than a click-and-hold, you can snap its picture without the aid of MenuCapture. Thats why MenuCapture is on the Obsolete page.
To install MenuCapture, drop it in your Control Panels folder and reboot.
To use MenuCapture, open the MenuCapture control panel and click the "Enable" checkbox. Then pull down a menu, and press the keys command, shift, and control simultaneously. What happens next depends on what version of the system you are running. With System 7.6 or later, the cursor turns into a cross-hair; let up the mouse button, then click and drag to select a rectangle to be copied to the clipboard. With earlier systems, a snapshot of the whole screen is saved as a picture file on your disk.
The actual picture-taking is done by the built-in screen capture FKEYs: FKEY 4 in the case of System 7.6 and later, FKEY 3 in the case of older software that did not have FKEY 4.
Enhancements:
- Makes it more obvious how to capture a contextual menu, by ensuring that the cursor changes to a cross-hair.
- I also attempted to clarify the text in the control panel.
