Description Derek 2017-04-12 07:45:59 UTC
I'm using KDE Neon User with default Breeze theme and when taking a screenshot with the "Rectangular region" the selection cursor ('+') is barely visible in the dark (unselected) area. Using the same monitor and using Shutter, the cursor is more visible.

Please improve the visibility.

That helps. Thank you.

I think i'll raise another wishlist: put Preferences somewhere other than "Save As" (!!)  :) Honestly - i looked for preferences. Note i looked under the Handbook in Help which doesn't appear to mention this.

Do i close this or someone else?

It is in the Handbook, see
https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kdegraphics/spectacle/ch04s02.html#idm46382834700880

Any suggestion how to make this option more visible in the docs?

Hi,

Yes - i think adding the screenshot (which has the headings bolded) will help. Currently, the headings are in the same font (no bold etc). And being a typical user i flicked through and didn't thoroughly read the section that is clearly there. If you keep the existing text and include the screenshot - bold the headings. As the text appears to be the same, simply replacing what you have with the screenshot might suffice?

Lastly, in that section - place at the top how to access the preferences. Whilst it is in the doco, it's buried somewhere earlier in the usage section.

:)

I'm pretty unfamiliar with the etiquette at this point. I can say "thanks" :) Is there anything else i should do? I'm pretty new to Linux and newer to 'bug' reporting.

Do i close this? CAN i close it? Do i just sit quietly and you'll do the rest?

Cheers.
