Screen Capture fr a snapshop...

MacBook Pro M1

Ventra, 13.5.2

Question: When capturing a specific part of an application screen [cmd][shift][4] for a “snapshot” the outline of the selection on the screen is white. As a result, it is impossible to see the border for the specific “capture. How can I change the “outline” to a darker color?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.5

Screen Capture highlight won't disappear This question has been asked but never answered about how to make the highlighted box disappear. Anyone? *Never mind. I found it. Press Command, SHIFT, 5 again to bring up the toolbar. Press STOP!

Screen capture highlight won’t go away When I take a screenshot the screen is dulled except for a window identifying the shot. Click the spacebar or Enter and the image is stored as a .png. So far, so good. But then the dulling/highlight-window remains. And it remains on every app. The only way to get rid of it is to restart my MacBook Pro (10.15.7), but using capture again produces the same effect.

Screen Capture highlight won't disappear It appears this question was asked at least two times before, but there was never a solution. Now it's happening to me in May of 2023. When I use Sh-Cmd-5 I am able to successfully capture a portion of the screen, but the "screen capture highlight" won't go away until I restart the computer. I have a MacBook Pro M1 with the latest updates. And no, pressing "Esc" does not help. Here's an example of what it looks like, it does this every time now, so now I have to restart again!

When I do it I get a gray box; I'm using Dark Mode.
