Avoid black screen when sharing desktop #53

Closed epontan closed 3 years ago

epontan commented 3 years ago

The rect-overlay, i.e. the red border that is painted around around screen when sharing desktop is causing black screen for users that are using a bare window manager (such as, i3, awesome, Window Maker, fluxbox, blackbox, iceWM, etc.).

Exclude rect-overlay from being installed in order to avoid the issue. It is not a very useful feature anyway and just brings more damage than benefit.

Have you tested that it still works with your change ?

Yes, desktop sharing still works. The red border will just not be visible.

It is the workaround recommended by Microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/42095/sharing-screen-not-working-anymore-bug.html
