Transparent Background Capture Options The default canvas color and the appearance of title bars taken with the Window selector can be changed on the General tab of the Input Properties dialog. To change the canvas color or title bar appearance, select Input > Properties > General tab For more information on what transparency is, see What You Need to Know About Transparency. Default Canvas Color The canvas color is a global setting that affects all captures sent to Editor. The default canvas color is transparent. If you prefer the white canvas of previous Snagit versions, changing the default canvas color to white creates a similar experience. However, remember that the checkerboard of the transparent canvas does not appear in saved images. Window Capture Transparency Options When the Window input or the Window selector in the All-in-One input is used to capture a window, Snagit can capture the transparency of Windows Aero themed title bars. The default behavior places a “clean” white background behind title bars. This option only affects captures taken with the Window input or Window selector in the All-in-One input. Region selections always appear exactly as they do on your screen.
