== Wayland ==
== Install ==
For X11 you can install Flameshot by simply adding it to your configuration file.
{{File|3=environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  flameshot
];|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}


=== Install on Wayland ===
In order to use Flameshot on Wayland you will need to install [https://github.com/emersion/grim Grim] and configure Flameshot to use it.


To install flameshot on Wayland, add the following to your package list:<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
==== Install Grim ====
(flameshot.override { enableWlrSupport = true; })
{{File|3=environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
  grim
];|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}


</syntaxhighlight>
==== Configure Flameshot ====
You may do this through Home Manager, or you may configure it manually in ~/.config/flameshot.
{{File|3=services.flameshot = {
  # Also installs/enables flameshot
  enable = true;
  settings = {
    General = {
      useGrimAdapter = true;
      # Stops warnings for using Grim
      disabledGrimWarning = true;
    };
  };
};|name=/etc/nixos/home.nix|lang=nix}}

You can configure Flameshot settings through Home Manager with the following syntax. Additional settings may be found on the [https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/blob/master/flameshot.example.ini Flameshot] Github and adapted into Nix. See documented settings in the [https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.xhtml#opt-services.flameshot.enable Home Manager Appendix - services.flameshot].
{{File|3=services.flameshot = {
  enable = true;
  settings = {
    General = {
       
      # More settings may be found on the Flameshot Github
 
      # Save Path
      savePath = "/home/user/Screenshots";
      # Tray

      # Notification for cancelled screenshot
      showAbortNotification = false;
      # Whether to show the info panel in the center in GUI mode
      showHelp = true;
      # Whether to show the left side button in GUI mode
      showSidePanelButton = true;

      uiColor = "#740096";
      contrastUiColor = "#270032";
      drawColor = "#ff0000";
 
      # For Wayland (Install Grim seperately)
      useGrimAdapter = true;
      # Stops warnings for using Grim
      disabledGrimWarning = true;
    };
  };

    keybindings = lib.mkOptionDefault {
    # Manual screenshot GUI that saves to clipboard and closes on selection.
    "${modifier}+Shift+s" = "exec flameshot gui --clipboard --accept-on-select";
    # Takes a screenshot of the screen containing the cursor.
    "${modifier}+Shift+a" = "exec flameshot screen --clipboard";
    # Takes a manual screenshot that shows options after selection.
    "Print" = "exec flameshot gui";
    };
