Screenshot ... *without shader*

[agentx3]

Hey, just a minor issue/request.

I would like to be able to take screenshots (currently using grim and slurp) in such a a way that the shader isn't present.

I saw that at one point this was behavior and it was "fixed" so I can understand if my request seems backwards. It would be nice because if you send the screenshot to someone that also has a filter on then they'll see the images as extra yellow due to the stacked filters. Overall keeping the filter applied on the screenshots is just a destructive operation and removes the true colors from the underlying image.

I do have a simple workaround so it's not thaat big of an issue, so it's just a nice-to-have: hyprshade off && grim -g "$(slurp)" - | xsel -b && hyprshade on blue-light-filter.glsl

Thanks for making hyprshade.

Yep this happens to me all the time.

I have a keybind in my Hyprland config that toggles the shader on/off with hyprshade toggle. Usually I'll take a screenshot, realize that I had the blue light filter on, and then redo it after toggling it off.

If you want it automated, you can probably do something like:

bind = ,Print, exec, shader=$(hyprshade current) && hyprshade off && $scripts/screenshot.sh output && hyprshade on "${shader}"

...or do something similar in a script.

Edit: here's something a bit more robust that I added to my screenshot script:

restore_shader() {
  if [ -n "$shader" ]; then
    hyprshade on "$shader"
  fi
}

save_shader() {
  shader=$(hyprshade current)
  hyprshade off
  trap restore_shader EXIT
}

save_shader
# ...rest of screenshot script...
