[Feature] Auto-border

[GetCurious]

I know you could add a square border manually.
I'd like not to do it manually every time.

I second this. Spent 1 hr of my time trying to figure this out...I eventually gave up. Maybe an icon to toggle the border, will default to the preselected color.

Great tool, could be even better!

@GetCurious can you elaborate more on the idea? Perhaps even adding an example to show exactly what you mean.

[GetCurious]

Sure... example when i paste a screenshot, i expect the red border to be there.

I second this, having the option to automatically add a border would be very useful, even better if you can define the border width in pixels.

This helps when pasting the screenshot in a report/document to highlight where the screenshot starts/ends.

Thank you for this great tool, it has been fantastic!

Hi... I'd like to also kindly request this feature. I switched over from Windows recently and I can't seem to find any screenshot tool in Linux that offers an "Auto Border". It makes a huge difference especially when you are pasting a screenshot that has a lot of white in the image in a white background document/report. Etc. Thank you for considering.

I second this. Very useful to avoid the sreenshot "blending" into let's say an email.

Hate to bump a thread, but I would also love this.

[toshi2k2]

Seconded. Would be awesome.

For the time being and until this is implemented, you can use this dmenu tool I put together:

@mmahmoudian we should link to your repo in the docs. That's super handy.

[kanlukasz]

Yes, I miss this option too.
How can i use dmenu_shot with Flameshot on Windows 10 ?

[mmahmoudian]

@kanlukasz Sorry, the dmenu_shot is only meant for Linux.

I'm not Windows user. If you know your way around Powershell, perhaps you can create a fork for Windows users. I think the biggest issue is that dmenu is designed for Linux. Perhaps this post can help you find an alternative and then port the dmenu_shot to windows:
