hyprland screenshot utility using grimblast

screensht

Utility to make screenshots on wlroots compositors look pretty

Based on https://gist.github.com/arnvgh/01b204df3229ed8c41cfd6ed847bb545

I use this for my screenshots, some people ask how I make them so here it is

Usage

• screensht area for an area (or click on a window to get that window).
• screensht full for a full screenshot of your active display.
• Screenshots are automatically copied to the clipboard. Click the notification to view the screenshot, or click the "Edit" button to edit the screenshot.
• Lines 5-26 in screensht are used for user configuration.

Settings can be changed directly at the top of the script.

Dependencies

• grimblast for screenshotting
• hyprctl (part of Hyprland) for changing decoration settings while taking a screenshot
• satty or swappy for optional screenshot editing
• imagemagick for image processing
• wl-copy for clipboard management (wl-clipboard and wl-clipboard-rs work)
• libnotify to send notifications (and a compatible notification daemon, preferabbly one with button support like swaync)

Here's a screenshot of screensht using screensht:
