- [Feature] Added -trypwcapmode tells minicap to try using the PrintWindow capture mode which was used in some older version of windows for minicap older than v1.42

New in MiniCap 1.20.01 (May 7, 2010)
- Feature:
- Updated with latest Screenshot Captor capture code.
- MajorFeature:
- Completely re-rewritten new method for capturing Aero Glass themed Semi-transparent windows on Vista and Windows 7. Based on an approach described by Ian Griffiths, with several tweaks for automatic border detection and improved color handling. A new options tab ("Windows Capturing") was added to control the various options for it. Note that by default SC will preserve the entire transparency recovered from the window; this will allow you to composite the screenshot in graphics editing software with it's original semi-transparent regions and effects. By default SC will attempt to remove the shadow effect imparted by Aero, but you can change this via commandline options.
