Showclick and Halo don't record in windows record mode #271

Bug report checklist

Describe the bug Showclick and Halo don't record in windows record mode

Log messages Attached as files. One for fullscreen record and the second one for window mode.

OS. Linux Mint 21.1 Cinnamon Current vokoscreenNG Version: 3.6.0 But the same I have seen on 3.1.0

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to showclick and halo tab. Enable both or one of them.
  2. Go to main capture tab. Enable windows mode. Put radiobutton to Windows. Set delay to 1 or more seconds.
  3. Enable record. Click "start".
  4. Click on some window to record it.
  5. Make some clicks anywhere in this window.
  6. Stop Record.

Expected behavior There are should be clicks and\or halo on recorded video. But there no any sign of them

Additional context As I can see it only happens in window mode. When there are an fullscreen record with the same parameters the resulting video is with all clicks and halo.

Yes, the behavior is known. The reason is, Showclick and Helo are not a cursor, they are windows and therefore not recorded.

The following change has been made until a solution is found. If the windows record mode enabled, Halo and Showclick is disabled.
