Option to disable shadow on screenshot

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There could be option to disable window shadow of captured window.

This feature is already implemented in other open source project called 
ZScreen: http://code.google.com/p/zscreen/

ZScreen has a terrible method for removing the shadow, it involves cutting out 
a fixed curved rectangle from the image. This only works on the default Windows 
7 theme, I created AeroShot with other visual styles in mind. I plan on looking 
into some methods for dynamically cutting the shadow out, probably finding the 
largest chunk of black in the screenshot and using it as a mask.

Ok, thanks.
I was firstly inspired by commercial Window Clippings and this post:

That feature would be very welcome!

The additional size of a screenshot due to the shadows is often just 
unacceptable.
