‘Snip & Sketch’ combines the legacy Snipping Tool with Screen Sketch (previously part of Windows Ink Workspace) to create a single app for capturing and annotating screenshots of the desktop, apps, and games without the need for third-party tools. Windows 10 has long allowed you to take and save screenshots using the Snipping Tool but thanks to a recent Windows update, users now have access to a complete set of screen-capture tools. Kudos to the oldie, Unity as long as it works and lasts with 17.There’s a new screenshot tool in town and we’ve been making full use of it on our desktops here at Pro Drive IT. Going back to Unity fixed this as it was in 17.04. Also, Gnome-based environment looked very sluggish when compared to that of Unity. Tried so many things and looked around in the internet to get rid of it.


So, I really wanted to get the 17.04 Unity look and feel back along with all the Unity panel operations, etc, so I removed Gnome-* specific stuff, installed Unity - desktop, session, greeter, lightdm, indicator-sound, unity-control-center, reinstalled graphics drivers(Nvidia in my case), with couple of attempts(reboot, etc), I got everything back like the old 17.04 had including the screenshot/clipboard copying, etc.Īlso, I didn't want the big central sound level indicator that appears at the bottom of the screen masking the screen whenever I increased/decreased/muted volume either using the multimedia keys or using the mouse scroll wheel over the top bar sound icon. Now, after having upgraded to 17.10, the whole look and feel Gnome-change, and what not, it became a major inconvenience and felt a lot like out of the place. I wanted this as well that was with the good old Unity. This along with so many other things have made life uneasy for the ones comfortable with the Unity-ish features which provided the above. In the Gnome-* environment that 17.10 has, it looks like (shift+printscrn) or just (printscrn) automatically saves in the default folder(Pictures or so) without giving an option to just copy to clipboard(and discard the file without saving it) and/or save it in whatever location needed.
