Using Jing in Elemental

hi there, is the only way to cap screens in Elemental with Jing to put elemental in windowed mode?  I can't seem to access Jing when I'm in fullscreen mode.  Or is there some way to capture screens in-game?  ALso, is there any online manual or explanation of hotkeys out there somewhere?  Thanks for your help!

Then you should probably write what you did as others could have the same problem

good idea, joasoze.  basically what I did was go into the options menu of Elemental, then turn off the option "use fullscreen" under the "Video" tab.  The I shut down Elemental and started it back up again (you need to do this).  The Jing sun widget will now appear overlaid on the Elemental screen (I find it's very unobtrusive, so it shouldn't be a problem).  You can then use it normally in Elemental.  Just as a note, the Elemental screen will still be fullscreen, (i.e. you can't see your desktop), but the Jing sun widget will be accessible in-game.

Also, for those needing help with playing the game, the Elemental Beta Wiki is a great source.  You can find it at http://elementalbeta.wikidot.com/.  I strongly recommend checking it out.

Speaking of Jing, is there a way to make it upload *.jpg instead of *.png?

Over a megabyte for a single picture is just too large. :)

Yep.  Use the printscreen key.  They end up in "my Games/Elemental/screenshots/"
