simplest might be to just call out to `shellExec("import -window root filename.png");` and it will write the file.

Hmm, that's good idea as fast solution. Thank you Adam.

Hi Konstantin,

I've got a simple example in Vala language but it's very easy to rewrite it in D thank's to GtkD (and also thanks to Mike Wey for his work in GtkD!):

//  compile: valac --pkg gtk+-3.0 --pkg gdk-3.0  screenshot.vala

int main (string[] args) {
    Gtk.init (ref args);

    int  width, height;

    Gdk.Window win = Gdk.get_default_root_window();

    width = win.get_width();
    height = win.get_height();

    Gdk.Pixbuf screenshot = Gdk.pixbuf_get_from_window(win, 0, 0, width, height);

    screenshot.save("screenshot.png","png");
    return 0;
}

Ok, took the time to translate it to D and created a github repo to clone. You can download and try it from: https://github.com/antoniocorbibellot/dsshot

Hope It helps you.
Antonio

Hey!

It really works!

https://github.com/antoniocorbibellot/dsshot/blob/master/source/app.d

Thank you!

This is example:

```
import std.stdio;
import gtk.Main;
import gtk.MainWindow;
import gtk.VBox, gtk.Label, gtk.Button;
import gdk.Gdk;
import gdk.Window;
import gdk.Pixbuf;
private import stdlib = core.stdc.stdlib : exit;

int main(string[] args)
{
	Main.init(args);
	new ApMainWindow();
	Main.run();
	return 0;
}


class ApMainWindow : MainWindow
{
	this()
	{
		super("Screen Capture");
		setTitle("Screen Capture Example");
		setDefaultSize(250, 120);
		VBox box = new VBox(false, 2);
		box.add(new Button("ScreenShot", &screenSave));
		box.add(new Button("Exit", &exitProg));
		add(box);
		showAll();
	}
	
	void screenSave(Button button)
	{
		Window win = Window.getDefaultRootWindow();
		int width = win.getWidth;
		int height = win.getHeight;
		Pixbuf screenshot = getFromWindow(win, 0, 0, width, height);
		screenshot.savev("screenshot.png", "png", null, null);
	}
	
	void exitProg(Button button)
	{
		stdlib.exit(0);
	}
}
```
