Screen Capture Window Capture shadow

DEVONthink

Hi all,

I used the Window Capture feature the other day and I noticed it captured the shadow around the window too. I don’t straight away see a way of disabling this in DEVONthink, so I was thinking it must be via the OS, but looking, I don’t see that either in OS 10.14.

I’m sure there used to be a preference in the OS that let you change this, and the save format, thought it might have been a secret preference accessed via a third-party app. As it is, can I switch the shadows off for the DEVONthink 3 Window capture?

We use the macOS screen capture command so you can turn off the default window drop shadows by running the following commands in Terminal:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture disable-shadow -bool true
killall SystemUIServer

Brilliant, thank you. That was probably what the third-party app did, just gave me a wysiwyg interface to do it.
