Screenshot Helper shows a full screen window with a solid color or a desktop picture so that you can take clean screenshots without having irrelevant windows and desktop icons in the background. The easiest way to get a clean desktop for screenshots on Mac OS X is to create a brand-new user account and log in as a brand-new user. But if you need to use your own user account for whatever reason and you have a messy desktop like I do, you can use Screenshot Helper to hide the actual desktop in order to take clean screenshots. • Support multiple screens. • Use the Preferences panel to change the color or the desktop picture. • Shift - drag the window to snap to the edge of screen. • Press command - B to show/hide the menu bar and the dock. • Press command - E to cover the entire screen. • Press command - D to cover the desktop icons only.
