--- Comment #2 from Noah Davis <[email protected]> ---
This would be super cool. It reminds me of GammaRay and Firefox's screenshot
tool.

I kind of doubt we could get it to work with individual UI elements like
Firefox. Unlike the web where everything mostly boils down to HTML, JavaScript
and CSS, there are multiple GUI toolkits that are used in desktop environments.
Supporting all of the most common ones, or even just Qt, would probably also
require depending on private library code, which is part of how GammaRay is
able to work.

Some of what you mentioned is already possible to take exact screenshots of
using Active Window or Window Under Cursor, though not currently in the
integrated workflow you seem to be thinking of. A UI that can interactively let
you add windows, context menus, applet popups and the desktop is certainly
something I'd like to add to Spectacle, although I think for wayland, the UI
might need to be handled by KWin rather than Spectacle due to technical reasons
(we'll see). I'm not sure what can be done for X11, but considering how much
more permissive it is, I don't see why it couldn't be done. Maybe it could also
allow grabbing panels and plasma widgets on the desktop separately from the
desktop (as you seem to be requesting in item 2), though not sure about that
last one.
