wf-recorder VS SimpleFox

Try wf-recorder.

The closest thing is probably wf-recorder.

The spec is designed to be minimal and it's expected for compositors to work together and add additional features, for example here is the tool for screen recording on wlroots compositors (sway and what most wayland WM's use) https://github.com/ammen99/wf-recorder, even though most people claim wayland doesn't support screen-recording/screenshotting. We just don't have a universal tool for that that works on all compositors, pipewire however seems to be coming to fill that niche.

If you are on Wayland, wf-recorder Is a good choice .

As for screen recording, I’ve used wf-recorder (IIRC, not at PC atm) several times the past couple of weeks, works equally well.

The issue I'm encountering is described here in more detail (including images).

Wfrecorder [0] is what I use, doesn't have a fancy gui but it just works

A workaround for sharing the whole screen is to use wf-recorder [1], which supports capturing the whole screen, and feeding its output to a virtual V4L2 device using v4l2loopback [2]. Software that is able to capture from a V4L2-compatible webcam (i.e. most) can them capture from the virtual device without knowing anything about Wayland. It's not exactly the most CPU-efficient way of doing things, but if you can afford the cycles it works very well!

You want to use wf-recorder. This is in my sway config:

> set $screenrecord wf-recorder -g "$(slurp)" -f ~/screenshots/mov-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d--%H-%M-%S.mp4")

> bindsym Shift+Control+F6 exec $screenrecord

> bindsym Ctrl+Shift+BackSpace exec killall -s SIGINT wf-recorder

Hitting shift-control-f6 will spawn slurp which lets you click and drag to set the area you want to record. This will then launch wf-recorder and record the selected area, saving to ~/screenshots/mov-${date}. You can use ctrl-shift-backspace to kill the recorder and end recording.

Lepton, Firefox-GX, SimpleFox, Cascade

for the theme : https://github.com/migueravila/SimpleFox

It'd be nice to see a single-line version of this that follows the aesthetic of SimpleFox.

In the screenshot below, I'm rockin' a one liner theme called: [Cascade](https://github.com/andreasgrafen/cascade) (Similar to [SimpleFox](https://github.com/migueravila/SimpleFox)). Oh, I use a̶r̶c̶h̶ artix linux btw (BSPWM) so I don't have a window frame on any of my applications. This makes the theme fit even better. Though, I must say, the following questions pertain to Firefox in-general and are not theme specific questions.

Slightly modded this setup just changed the colors and removed way more things, quite simple to replicate if you look at the SimpleFox repo

Do you mean this style?

I'm using a custom stylesheet: Cascade ( https://github.com/migueravila/SimpleFox). Text are dark and doesn't the color, the problem pertains even when the font doesn't change color in the "colors" tab. I tried using the stylesheet, but I didn't understand much and left it to its own devices.

Nah it's good, this one has a startpage made for it as well

Cascade is a Firefox Theme based on SimpleFox. This theme was known previously as "ag.proton"—but let's be honest: That sounds hella boring. What you get is a really simple one-line layout that works well with the new Proton UI.
