Does it capture a screenshot and then you edit the still frame? Or are you drawing onto a potentially changing background?

Still frame.

I set my print screen key to it, and works every time, instead of the built-in screenshot tool where the popups/menus will have disappeared.

This is AWESOME news! I really love to see how well supported Wayland nowadays is. We're probably still missing a couple of things, but so far my experience has been fantastic.

#1 problem for me is a combination of issues: - xwayland has no DPI scaling support (or rather, naive blurry pixel upscaling) - jebrains ides have no native Wayland support

Result is a blurry mess of an ide. Once that is resolved, I'll be wholeheartedly aboard the Wayland train.

I'm not sure about this statement to be honest, but maybe I never cared that much since xwayland works already good on my machines: have you tried with a custom JDK?

I had some issues with sway and Jetbrains back in November, but I fixed those by running them on the latest JDK: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/3007#issuecomment-7245...

Granted that yes, probably it's not Wayland native, but using HiDPI in my case didn't seem to be a problem to be honest

I am not able to use it on sway with default swaybar. The notification simply says "Unable to capture screen" when I click on the tray icon. From CLI also I tried a few commands but nothing happens. No errors as well. Can you please help me?
