Add shadows #313

Open dmarrazzo opened 6 years ago

dmarrazzo commented 6 years ago

Please add an option to put under the drawing (box, arrows, etc) a black blurred shadow. It seems just vanity, but it helps to distinguish the marker from the original shot.

@borgmanJeremy Can this be also labeled as "Good first issue"? Also can this be partially related to #1249 and #344 during development?

borgmanJeremy commented 3 years ago

Yes I think those are all grouped together and can all be good first issue, I'll tag them.

From a duplicate issue:

One problem I have with Flameshot annotations is that they don't always stand out from the background. One solution to this would be to add drop-shadows, or the option to add drop-shadows to annotations.

Simple drop-shadows may be enough, or one could look to Skitch for inspiration and add white outlines + drop-shadows (at least on text).

claytron5000 commented 3 years ago

I've been playing with adding drop-shadows to the application. I looked at QGraphicsDropShadowEffect, but I haven't been able to figure out how to apply to the painter. I've also played with the arrow, duplicating the parts, coloring them black, and translating them. This seems like a fragile and tedious method.

Any ideas how to effectively implement drop-shadows across the app? I was looking at this ProxyStyle as a way to override text. Is it possible to do that on painted elements as well?

The shadow is a very important feature that I really missed on the Linux desktop. When you post a white screenshot on a forum white page, you definitely want the screenshot to be separate from the white-colored forum page.

You can simply add a black pixel (or more black pixels) around the edges of the screenshot. Although it doesn't look as pretty as the shadow, it solves the main problem of separating the page from the screenshot.
