mate-screenshot: Create a screenshot without borders.
$ mate-screenshot --window --remove-border
try on your machine

The command you mentioned is used to take a screenshot of a specific window without any borders using the "mate-screenshot" tool. Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

  • "mate-screenshot": It is the name of the application or command-line tool used for taking screenshots in the MATE desktop environment. This tool provides various options for capturing different types of screenshots.
  • "--window": This flag is used to specify that you want to capture a screenshot of a specific window rather than the entire screen. By using this flag, you need to specify the window you want to capture.
  • "--remove-border": This flag is used to remove the borders or decorations (such as the window title bar, window borders, etc.) from the captured screenshot. This is helpful if you want to focus solely on the content of the window without any distractions.

So, when you run the "mate-screenshot --window --remove-border" command, it will take a screenshot of a specific window and remove any borders or decorations from the captured image.
