X-Lightscreen

Taking screenshots can be annoying when you have to use traditional Windows methods. However, the job can be simplified to the extreme by installing specialized software, such as X-Lightscreen.

X-Lightscreen is a light tool created to help you take screenshots of various areas of your desktop. The app comes with a small and intuitive interface that should be easy to figure out by all users, no matter their level of experience.

The software lets you define a path for the output folders, as well as choose a filename format and a default format for the screen grabs. X-Lightscreen supports three different image files: PNG, JPG, BMP. Also, you can have the app run at system startup.

You can define keyboard shortcuts for each action. Thus, you can capture the screen, a particular window or a screen area.

You can opt to have the app show in the system tray and to hide the interface while taking a screenshot. Also, you can define the output picture quality. By default, each screenshot is saved in the predefined folder, but you can also have the program prompt for action after every shot is taken. Also, you can have the cursor included in the pictures and copy the image to the clipboard.

The software supports a wide range of languages, such as English, Italian, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Romanian, Russian, Dutch, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese and Slovenian.

X-Lightscreen is a nice and useful tool, with an intuitive interface. The app is portable, which means it doesn’t need to be installed.
