Transparent Background Capture Options
The default canvas color and the appearance of title bars taken with the Window selector can be changed on
the General tab of the Capture Type Properties dialog.
To change the canvas color or title bar appearance, select Capture Type > Properties > General tab
For more information on what transparency is, see What You Need to Know About Transparency.
Default Canvas Color
The canvas color is a global setting that affects all captures sent to Editor. The default canvas color is trans-
parent.
If you prefer the white canvas of previous Snagit versions, changing the default canvas color
to white creates a similar experience. However, remember that the checkerboard of the trans-
parent canvas does not appear in saved images.
Window Capture Transparency Options
When the Window Capture Type or the Window selector in the All-in-One Captur Type is used to capture a
window, Snagit can capture the transparency of Windows Aero-themed title bars. The default behavior places
a “clean” white background behind title bars.
This option only affects captures taken with the Window Capture Type or Window selector in
the All-in-One Capture Type. Region selections always appear exactly as they do on your
screen.
