Lightscreen unable to capture PortableApps.com menu window

Hello,

I have just tested Lightscreen Portable 0.5, from drive C:

It is unable to capture the PortableApps.com menu window (PAMW). In either the screen, window or screen area capture mode, PAMW is ignored, only the window/area behind it is captured.

Interestingly, in the area capture mode, the captured area has the size of PAMW, but without PAMW.

I am using XP Pro SP3.

Print Screen

Most capture utilities are unable to capture special windows like the PortableApps.com Menu. The workaround is to use Print Screen on the entire screen. (CTRL-Print Screen which captures a window doesn't work either).

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

I'm guessing it's a layered window, to accommodate the fade-in/out effect... am I correct?

I can't figure out what the purpose of the fade is, though, honestly. Windows' Start menu itself (which PAM is based on) doesn't even fade.
