Remove any mod's GUI from screen before taking screenshots. #54

Description of Bug If a mod produces an overlay, such as: Event Black Bars or Data Layers there will be bugged screenshots.

For Event Black Bars whenever an event is taking place, some black bars appear to make it more cinematic. When an event happens as soon as you leave the farm; this has resulted in the screenshot having 3 black bars stripping across the farm. For Data Layers when it's activated before leaving the house, there is the top left overlay duplicated 19 times. I'm sure there are several more mods that can cause this issue, that I'm unaware of. It's quite annoying how a bunch of my screenshots are unusable and I was unaware about it until year 2.

I assume removing ALL overlays is the way to go and it's possible, as on SVE at the summit, does this somehow. It removes all GUI and Overlays.

Steps to Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download one of the two example mods.
  2. Follow the instructions on how to trigger it based on which mod you used.
  3. Check Screenshot.

Expected behavior I assumed that the screenshots would be of the farm and NOT of my screen. Since the toolbar and the top right clock gets removed. But it has included GUI elements that isn't easily editable.
