And like any other tools, Screenie allows you to shoot your own foot, i.e. you can create a very ugly shot with it. I recommend to use it only with the right image size and proper color balance, see e.g. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ariyahidayat/2545790007/sizes/m/.

looks good, maybe acceptable for 2 holiday photos with drunken people, but I can only recognize the main structure, not even read the headlines 🙁

I hate them. They look kinda fancy, but serve no purpose besides that. I prefer plain, 2D screenshots on which I can really see the software.

I admit I’m too lazy to compile it myself and would be very happy if it would appear there sometime soon.

I never knew screenie did it wrong, but now my skin will probably craw every time I see them.

As usual the devil is in the details.
