I have inverted breeze dark as a theme. When I take a screen shoot, I sometimes want the screen shoot to be "normal", so inverted. It would be good, instead of switching the theme back, it would be good to quickly invert the screenshot.

When you say "invert", do you mean that you literally want every color on the screen to be inverted? Or is your desire that everything on the system actually reflects a different color scheme in the screenshot? Because those are different things.

I meant, I would like to have it look like the normal standard them. Did not know how to express it differently. My main reason is that in screenshots, black background with a white font does not always look suitable.

Thanks. I don't think this is something we'll be able to do, sorry. A screenshot should reflect the actual state of the system; if that actual state isn't good enough, then it should be changed beforehand, or in post-processing afterwards.
