noticed when i take a screenshot with spectacle , my desktop is in the background , like the screenshot window is somewhat transparent ? Now if i set a delay then the screenshot comes out ok with no transparency?
for example , 1st screenshot was taken with no delay , 2nd screenshot with a delay.
I don’t see any settings in spectacles regarding that
1st:
2nd:
Doesn’t seem to be doing that when i use it. Have you checked the settings on spectacle.
i have , cant see anything relating to transparency
By any chance, do you have Intel graphics and, if so, are you running X11 and do you have the xf86-video-intel package installed? That package has been known to cause somewhat similar issues. If it’s installed, try removing it…it’s generally not considered a very useful package these days.
yes i have .
can i just remove it ? do i need to install some other package ?
No, you can just remove it, that will fall back to the kernel’s modesetting driver.
The xf86-video-intel package isn’t usually needed these days.
not really a problem , i can set the delay for 1sec and its ok . Was just wondering if there’s some setting, or maybe it’s something with window manager settings and spectacle ?
ok , i’ll do that quick and test
hmm ok , did sudo pacman -R xf86-video-intel and rebooted
still does the same
missed that ,no i’m on wayland
Well, it was worth a try, anyway 
.
I don’t think it’s a settings issue - I can think of no valid reason anyone would want to have that occur when they take a screenshot. So it must be some type of bug.
maybe it’s a wayland thing lol, anyway , i can live with a 1 second delay 
not gonna ponder on it anymore , thanks for the help !
