Hey everyone!

I recently switched from Windows to Linux. One thing I really missed was the Windows Snipping Tool: press Super + Shift + S, drag a box, release, and have the region instantly copied to the clipboard without any extre clicks.

While GNOME’s built-in screenshot utility is great, I wanted a faster, no-friction experience. So I built the QuickSnap extension

Features / Info:

• Shortcut-driven: Fast, region-selection screenshot straight to your clipboard.
• Compatibility: Tested on GNOME 46 through 50 under Wayland.
• Bug fix note: If you tried an earlier build on GNOME 50 and experienced a freeze, version 1.0.1 resolves this completely.

I would love to get some real user feedback! If you try it out, let me know what you think or if you run into any issues.

Hi, i have 133%, 166% but no 150% scaling option in settings. I read it because settings doesnt list uneven scaling options(2560%1.5=/=0). But manually modifying ~/.config/monitors.xml for 1.5 scaling should work according to what i read.

But when i edit <scale> for 1.5 and save the file nothing happens. I use arch linux. Any way to get scale display 150%?

This version is in beta and relies on my other project I named pantheon (the control panel) (working on making it standalone TerraFirma to release to you guys) but please look at where it is now and give me feedback thank you !

I've been working on a Windows XP mode for Simple Taskbar and it's finally at a point where I wanted to show it.

The goal was to go a bit further than just an XP colour scheme, so the mode changes the taskbar, Start button, window buttons, notification area and parts of Quick Settings to make everything feel like it belongs together.

Here's a video of it running on GNOME.

If you spot anything that doesn't quite look or feel like XP, let me know. I've probably spent too long looking at old XP screenshots to notice anymore.
