Hi hello, I wonder if there is a way to take screenshots (using `org.openrndr.extensions Screenshots` extension) that do not contain the UI added through `org.openrndr.panel.ControlManager`. I thought I would use `beforeScreenshot` and `afterScreenshot` events to remove the UI and add it back after the screenshot is taken but don’t think it’s possible to remove the UI once it has been drawn. I guess I could reimplement the screenshot functionality myself and only save the contents of my custom render target to a file, but that seems like a lot of work to match the same features of the Screenshots extension. Did I miss anything or is this not supported? ---

Hi hi 🙂 I think it’s based on order. If you `extend(Screenshots())` **after** `extend(ControlManager())` it should not be visible in the resulting image. Is that the case? ---

You are right @abe, it is the case! Thank you 🙂
