Thumbnail for a webpage

July 3rd, 2008 | by guda |

My colegue bl8cki is real fan of making screenshots from web browsers. Those days he tries the python solution. And today he surprised all with one very nice firefox plugin

With this plugin you can use firefox with some command line parameters to make screenshots.

Here is how we will use it

  1. start the xvfb 
    
mkdir /tmp/tmpfbdir
Xvfb :1 -ac -screen 0 1600x1200x24  -fbdir /tmp/tmpfbdir

  2. run the firefox 
    firefox-2 --display=:1 --no-xshm -height 1024 -width 768 -savepng http://www.cenite.com
