What's exactly broken here? Screenshot looks fine here. Tested on my own installation, also works fine.

gnome-screenshot is broken with nvidia when taking windowed screenshots, in rest should be fine.

Hm, when I watch it in the browser it actually looks better because of white background.
But it looks much worse in the image viewer/gimp. I've attached the screenshot. to compare
how it looks in browser and viewer.

That happens not to all windows. For some - it's just window header broken (i.e. transparent)

I use Intel SandyBridge graphics.
Actually I'm not sure the problem is exactly in the gnome-screenshot application...

BTW: when I do a screenshot of the whole desktop or screenshot of the region (Shift-PrintScreen) it works perfect.

As a proof I've attached the screenshot of the same nautilus window made by Shift-PrintScreen.

Looks like a theme bug, your theme probably doesn't set backgrounds, so gnome-screenshot makes them transparent.

Probably it's related to the gtk3 theme, but it happens with the standard Adwaita theme as well

A lot has changed in the last 2 years, is this still an issue?
Comment by Eugene Lipchansky (NSky) - Wednesday, 13 May 2015, 07:17 GMT
Sorry, I can't check as I'm not using Arch anymore.
