PSBShot
=======

Takes screenshots of the screens that appear before AmigaOS has
loaded: Kickstart's Early Startup Menu, the PiStormBoot menu, or any
other native (non-RTG) screen. It also gives these screens, and the
Workbench after them, a dark color palette.

 - Ctrl + Alt + P   takes a picture of the front screen
 - Ctrl + Alt + D   switches dark mode on and off
 - Ctrl + Alt + Cursor keys   brightness and contrast (not saved)

At boot time there is no file system yet, so the pictures are kept in
memory. Later, in the Shell, the same file saves them as IFF ILBM:

    PSBShot TO DF0:

Pictures survive a warm reset. A small Python script for a PC turns
the IFF files into PNG.

PSBShot works on any Amiga with Kickstart 3.0 or later. Together with
PiStormBoot (also on Aminet) dark mode can be switched on for every
boot from PiStormBoot's menu.
