Have a look at the https://github.com/flameshot-org code for ideas @drebelpai

@timob256 I'm not sure whether you want to animate the mouse cursor movement, if that is what you want then take a look at https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/animation-overview.html

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Which desktop environment are you using ?
With which window manager ?

@SeeRich
can you change

setAttribute(Qt::WA_StyledBackground); setObjectName( "mainWindow" ); setStyleSheet( QString( "MainWindow#%1 { background-color: blue; }" ) .arg( objectName() );

to

setAttribute(Qt::WA_StyledBackground); setObjectName( "mainWindow" ); setStyleSheet( QString( "QWidget#%1 { background-color: blue; }" ) .arg( objectName() );

there is no MainWindow stylesheet. It should be QMainWindow.

I have since found out that grabWindow doesn’t work under Wayland. So I either have to find another way or resort to X11 again.

Yea, i did try to call it on the flickable object.
Tryed it on the contentItem now, but
<unknown File>: QML QuickItem: grabToImange: item has no QML engine
Im on Qt 5.10 btw

I´ll guess i try to take the stitch approch...

Got it to work.

Only had to do this:
@
//Screenshot button
RectangularButton{
id: screenshotButton
text: "Screenshot"
anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
anchors.right: savePictureButton.left
anchors.margins: 10
onClicked: {

//Take screenshot of the image flick.grabToImage(function(result) { snapController.url = result.url }, Qt.size(snapshotViewItem.width,snapshotViewItem.height)); //Update zoom and update image to save flick.contentHeight = flick.height flick.contentWidth = flick.width } }

@mrjj seems a great idea, i will try later and thank you.
