You can take a screenshot in any of the following ways:

  • From any panel

    You can add a Take Screenshot button to any panel. For instructions on how to do this, see the section called “Adding an Object to a Panel”. Click on the Take Screenshot button to take a screenshot of the entire screen.

  • Use shortcut keys

    To take a screenshot, use the following shortcut keys:

    You can use the Keyboard Shortcuts preference tool to modify the default shortcut keys.

  • From the Menubar

    Choose Applications->Accessories->Take Screenshot.

  • From the Terminal

    You can use the gnome-panel-screenshot command to take a screenshot. The gnome-panel-screenshot command takes a screenshot of the entire screen, and displays the Save Screenshot dialog. Use the Save Screenshot dialog to save the screenshot.

    You can also use options on the gnome-panel-screenshot command as follows:
