Spectacle options?

i’ll start by saying i respect the changes added to spectacle in 6.4, the draging and such to change the crop area is neat .

that saids i Hate the look of it now. idk how to close the thing without pressing esc on the keyboard vs before i could happily use the whole thing with just a mouse . it really looks like a bad version of win11’s snipping tool now vs before it was visually appealing.

my biggest gripe it just not having proper menus and a close button far as i can see tho , is there a way to revert or tweak this?

Press print screen / launch from menu, select options, select configure spectacle, under General the drop down for When launching spectacle, set to Do not take a screenshot automatically. That should be what you’re looking for. Next time you launch it, it’ll open as a small interactive window.
