Set Source selection tool not opening fullscreen. #22

Closed mcourteaux closed 1 month ago

I know very little about Wayland, but the selection utility behaves like a normal window instead of something that covers the whole screen to let you select an area.

By the way: slurp does a great job creating a selection tool.

Can you at least give a word of explanation? wayfarer is not usable right now...

Clue's in the protect title. "for GNOME". I'm not aware of any other technique for GNOME's compositor (other than the "miniature view snapshot" used by kooha.

Patches that do not affect the fundamental GNOME usage not be declined, but I'm not wasting my time on other DMs in which I have zero interest. And last time I checked, wayfarer worked fine on other compositors, for example "weston" and "labwc" and "kde". From the closed issues, "hyprland" seems to be the outlier.

For anyone reading this in the future, I found a workaround with the windowrules in Hyprland, which makes it perfectly usable:

windowrulev2 = float, class:^org.stronnag.wayfarer$
windowrulev2 = float, class:^wayfarer$
windowrulev2 = size 100% 100%, class:^wayfarer$
windowrulev2 = move 0 0, class:^wayfarer$
