Gyazo is a screenshot-taker that takes a screenshot of a custom area. It is only made for Windows, but can be coded for Ubuntu to. Here is what you do:
1. Install Imagemagick in the Software Center

2. Open the Terminal and type "sudo apt-get install ruby" without the quotes. Let it install.

3. Now open gedit and paste this code in:
The line that says browser_cmd = 'firefox' will open Firefox so if you want it to open Chromium instead replace it with browser_cmd = 'chromium-browser'
Now save it as gyazo.rb
4. Right-click gyazo.rb and click Properties. And under Permissions check the Execution box.

5. Drag it to your navbar on the top and when you want to take a picture just click it!
