fancygrim

a small bash script that I use for screenshotting. (hyprland only)
i made this because I was infuriated with the lack of good screenshotting tools. This tool takes a screenshot and THEN resizes it, instead of taking a resizing and taking a screenshot of slurp. It also allows you to toggle a shadow and change the border radius for each individual mode. It makes it a little slower, but tbh i don't care all too much.

Important

This was made for Hyprland/Wayland in mind.
This will very likely not work on X11.
It uses hyprpicker to freeze the screen, which means it may not work for other wayland compositors. Please let me know if it does work outside of Hyprland.
