@brainblasted @cassidy vector screenshots would be very cool as well, but this feature demonstrated here is not about that...

it's taking (raster) screenshots of each window & the background separately and then compositing them in the right way, to make it look like the original screen but with windows on different layers

something like this should be implementable in the Shell screenshots machinery without involving GTK or a new Wayland protocol, as full vector screenshots would require

@bugaevc @brainblasted @cassidy I wonder what this does with transparent + blurred window backgrounds

@raggesilver @brainblasted @cassidy hmm, it does have "Dock" as a separate layer ('cause Dock.app is just a client too)
