It's ✨🪄

Placed this behind a BetaTester feature toggle, which is currently only available via the greenshot.ini file.

Those wanting to help beta-testing this, just drop a file called greenshot-fixed.ini (if there isn't one already) with the following in the %APPDATA%\Greenshot directory and restart Greenshot:

[Core]
BetaTester=True

Can you take her for a ride? Wasn't easy to get her running...

I played around with it a bit.

1. the new version has transparent borders.😍

2. Endless loop and/or wrong capture
   I was stuck here:
   

   greenshot/src/Greenshot/Native/WindowsGraphicsCaptureInterop.cs

   Lines 350 to 354 in 4719192

   	while (frameTemp == null)
   	{
   	frameTemp = framePool.TryGetNextFrame();
   	}

   
   Steps:

• minimize all windows (used ShowDesktop function)
• used Greenshort SystemTray menu "capture window from list"
• pick a random window
• then nothing happens
• until i open the same window manually
• sometimes it captures the window correct
• sometimes it captures only parts of the window
• and somtimes i stuck in the loop for ever (i think this was one of the Greenshot editor window from the same debug session)

Thanks for having a look!

I also like the transparency, even though it said somewhere that it doesn't do that 😂

The loop somewhat can be explained, Windows waits until something changes. Why nothing changes is a good question.

What do you mean with parts of the Window? More or less, Microsoft advertises this Technology to solve exactly THAT.

I set

[Core]
BetaTester=True

and greenshot still doesn't seem to handle HDR correctly, preview/screenshot is very blown out still.
Is there something else I need to do?

just wanted to thank you, man. This thing was so fucking annoying.

It's currently only for the window capture, not the whole screen.

With V1.4.147 the new tech is also used with the region and screen captures. Still needs the BetaTester as it's not tested enough.
