5 years ago Hey @NickeManarin,
I can confirm that
The new recorder had issues with the positioning of the record controls while using multiple screens.
is fixed.
Environment:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.0.18362.0 | 64 bits | 208.5 MB | 3.6 GB | 15.9 GB |
Monitors
| Bounds | Working Area | DPI/Scale | Primary? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0:0 • 1920x1080 | 0:0 • 1920x1030 | 120dpi / 125% | Yes |
| 1920:-522 • 1920x1080 | 1920:-522 • 1920x1030 | 120dpi / 125% | No |
Thank you!

This issue was open, so you can test new features before they are released to everyone.
Download here: ScreenToGif.2.20.Preview.5.zip
(Updated November 14th) (Updated November 17th) (Updated December 04th) (Updated December 21th)
What's new?
• The app now uses/requires .Net Framework 4.8.
• Experimental support for multi-DPI set of screens (All windows, including the recorders).
• Screen capture via DirectX 11.1 (Desktop Duplication API, requires Windows 8 or newer).
• Screen capture can use a configurable memory cache with support for compression.
• You can now set actions to be executed when clicking on the app icon on the system tray.
• The default FFmpeg Webm encoder is now set to VP9.
• Added support for version 0.9.3 of Gifski (delete the older DLL and download again via Options > Extras).
• You can now cancel the gif encoding that uses Gifski.
• When exporting as project, the app will use the encoder window instead of locking down the editor.
• You can use FFmpeg to import frames from video (I also improved performance while importing video with the default method).
• The executable can interpret arguments to disable/enable hardware acceleration.
• The maximum permitted outwards thickness of the border was increased.
• German, Turkish and Russian translation were updated.
Fixed:
♦ The new recorder had issues with the positioning of the record controls while using multiple screens.
♦ The troubleshooter had issues displaying the correct position of the screens.
♦ The screen recorder was not capturing animated cursors correctly.
♦ The space bar was not set as the Play/Pause button anymore.
♦ The Gifski encoder now accepts saving gifs to a path (also loading frames from a temporary path) that contains non-latin characters.
♦ The text was overflowing and not wrapping properly in the FFmpeg command text boxes.
♦ It was not possible to set shortcuts when deploying with Intune.
♦ When trying to type special characters with the help of the Right Alt key, some commands were being fired instead. Because the underlying system translates Right Alt to Ctrl + Alt.
What needs to be tested?
○ Are the new (DesktopDuplication) and old (BitBlt) capture methods faster than before?
○ Is 200 MB enough as a maximum size for the memory cache?
○ Is the DesktopDuplication capture correctly capturing your screen?
○ Test screen DPI changes while the recorder window is open (for both recorders).
○ Test stopping the recording (for all capture modes, for both recorder).
○ Test using the Gifski encoder with paths with different non-latin characters (I tested with Chinese and Russian characters).
○ Left click, Double left click and middle click actions for the system tray icon.
○ Since this preview build has support for multi-DPI set of screens, further testing needs to be done to ensure that all windows are DPI agnostic. Only the new recorder has no support yet.
Observations
♠ Version number in test release is still 2.19.3, that will change later.
♠ Upload services won't work in this test release.
More features and bug fixes may be added before the v2.20 release.
