[https://flameshot.org/ Flameshot] is a powerful screenshot and screenshot annotation tool. Flameshot allows the user to take a screenshot and then draw, write text, blur, crop, and otherwise edit screenshots with ease.

== ~~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;

};

};|name=/etc/nixos/home.nix|lang=nix}}

== ~~Troubleshooting~~ ==

== Home Manager ==

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 = "/mnt/internal/wintermute/Sync/Screenshots";

# Tray

disabledTrayIcon = true;

# Greeting message

showStartupLaunchMessage = false;

# Default file extension for screenshots (.png by default)

saveAsFileExtension = ".png";

# Desktop notifications

showDesktopNotification = true;

=== ~~Flameshot only captures a portion of the screen ===~~

# Color Customization

uiColor = "#740096";

contrastUiColor = "#270032";

drawColor = "#ff0000";

On Wayland~~, Flameshot might capture only the top left of the screen when fractional scaling is used. This can be solved by running it with the environment variable <code>QT_QPA_PLATFORM~~=~~xcb</code>. This will run it under X11, so Xwayland will need to be set up in your compositor. Keyboard input may not work correctly.~~

# For Wayland (Install Grim seperately)

useGrimAdapter = true;

};

};|name=/etc/nixos/home.nix|lang=nix}}
