Screenshots! These handy snippets have become indispensable to our daily business as well as personal life. Considering how mandatory they are for everyone in these modern times, every OS and a well-designed game, make sure to deliver a built in feature where screenshots are facilitated. However, capturing a screen is one thing, but the ability of highlighting the content is another. There are many third party editing tools available to annotate our snippets each having their own uses in a business workflow. But when we have to take screenshots, we get confused which tool to use. Some tools are dedicated to taking best possible screenshots of whole desktop screen yet some are browser based capable of taking screenshots of the webpages opened in the browsers. Some have ability to integrate with your development process, where as some are so useful that there integration ability can be easily overlooked.

Web designers have always been fascinated by the vibrant spectrum of colors in the real world. They could be working on any web development framework, but the fascination never leaves them alone. Over the years, displays have focused heavily on three color spectrums: Red, Blue, and Green.

A web product’s user experience is one of the key elements that help in user acquisition and user retention. Though immense focus should be given to the design & development of new product features, a continuous watch should be kept on the overall user experience. Like 404 pages (or dead links), broken images on a website (or web app) could also irk the end-users. Manual inspection and removal of broken images is not a feasible and scalable approach. Instead of using third-party tools to inspect broken images, you should leverage Selenium automation testing and see how to find broken images using Selenium WebDriver on your website.

The necessity for vertical text-orientation might not seem evident at first and its use rather limited solely as a design aspect for web pages. However, many Asian languages like Mandarin or Japanese scripts can be written vertically, flowing from right to left or in case of Mongolian left to right. In such languages, even though the block-flow direction is sideways either left to right or right to left, letters or characters in a line flow vertically from top to bottom. Another common use of vertical text-orientation can be in table headers. This is where text-orientation property becomes indispensable.
