mate-screenshot [options]

mate-screenshot captures screenshots in the MATE desktop environment. It can capture the entire screen, a single window, or a user-selected region.
By default, screenshots are saved to the Pictures directory with a timestamped filename. The interactive mode presents a dialog for choosing capture type, delay, and effects before taking the screenshot.
Effects like drop shadows can be applied to window captures for a more polished appearance.

--window, -w

Capture only the active window

Select a region to capture

Open a dialog for capture options before taking screenshot

Wait specified seconds before capturing

Remove window border from window captures

Add an effect: shadow, border, or none

Include window border in capture (default)

Copy screenshot to clipboard instead of saving

Area selection requires mouse interaction to draw the capture region. The delay option is useful for capturing menus or tooltips that appear on hover. Window captures may not work correctly with some compositors or window managers.
