As our testimonials page shows, StarNet customers consistently rate their X-Win32 experience as the best in the industry.




Copy and paste for graphics

X-Win32 features the unique ability to copy screenshots from your X Window System applications (e.g. Cadence, CATIA, xterm, etc.) into your Windows programs. Detailed steps on how to do this are below.


NOTE: The screenshot facility has been completely reimplemented in X-Win32 8 and now features improved highlighting of selected regions, the ability to capture the entire screen, the ability to capture graphics from Windows not owned by X-Win32, improved functionality with multiple monitors, and the ability to save directly to a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file for much smaller file sizes. Upgrade to X-Win32 8 today!
