Capture windows which are larger than the screen
Works as advertised for me. It's easy to make a window wider than the screen, but as the hint says, impossible to make one taller than the screen unless you have a secondary monitor where the menubar does not get in the way. It would be nice if Apple would override this restriction. Once upon a time, windows had handles all around the edges, and this would then be possible, it seems.
Capture windows which are larger than the screen
Great hint, I did not know about the camera icon.
I was able to take a picture of a very tall Finder window by moving it under the menubar with this Applescript, which I wrote for hiding windows:
tell application "Finder"
set frontWindow to the front window
set {x, y} to position of frontWindow
set position of frontWindow to {x, 40}
end tell
Once the window is barely under the menubar, you can grab the edge and move it up as far as you want. I also wish Apple would activate this capability which was a very cool feature in OS9. As far as I know, this trick only works on Finder windows, since most apps do not allow window grabbing on the edge. Theoretically an Applescript could resize any scriptable window to an unreasonably long length to allow a fully sized screenshot.

I was able to take a full size screenshot of this very page in iCab by extending the window with a modified version of the Applescript below.
To see the resulting image look here: iCabLongWindow.png (1.8MB) So yes, probably an Applescript could semi-automate the procedure.

I can only get it to work in carbon apps. |
