When you hover over window or control in region capture mode it will automatically select region of that window or control under cursor. You mentioned a possible problem would be decreased fps, but I'm not sure why decreased fps would be preferred over 0 fps from a frozen screen.Īs I mentioned, the other software listed that provide similar functions force unfrozen screens with no option to freeze it, so having a software that provides both options would be useful. I'm actually unsure what advantage there is to having the screen frozen, because the lack of responsiveness from what you're trying to capture is more inhibiting than actually not being able to screen capture. One of the main uses for a screen capture tool is to preempt something that you're trying to capture, so not being able to see what happens while using the rectangle (or other shape) function is extremely limiting, while providing no real benefit to the user.

The amount of options ShareX provides is impressive, so I don't understand either why an option that's standard for all of the other software I'm familiar with isn't available.įrom a user's perspective, not having your screen locked down is extremely advantageous.

All of the screen capture software I've used offer that function (Gyazo, Puush, HyperDesktop) by default.
