When I have the screen curtain turned on in NVDA, and then press either
Print Screen or Alt + Print Screen, I get a black screenshot image with
no other content. Could it be possible to add a functionality that
announces about the existence of screen curtain when taking a screenshot?

Thanks,

Veli

Hi Veli,

Good question.  This is something we have a request for - warn the user when attempting to screenshot blackness · Issue #10576 · nvaccess/nvda - however it hasn't been actioned as of yet.  You are right, you can't take a screenshot when screen curtain is active, and we should ideally at least warn you about this.

Kind regards

Quentin
