Feature Request: Temporarily Disable Blur/Transparency During Screenshots

[cjspd-oly]

Issue

• When taking screenshots, Blur My Shell’s transparency/blur effects should be automatically disabled. These effects can expose parts of the wallpaper/behind windows (privacy concern) and often look visually messy in shared screenshots.

• The transparency/blur should not be visible in screenshots at all.

• Using fully opaque windows is a workaround, but it’s not equivalent to disabling the effect only at capture time and negatively impacts my desktop customisation.

Technical Note:

• Ensure compatibility with both GNOME Screenshot private and public APIs, including tools such as Gradia (Uses default gnome screenshot menu) and Flameshot (uses a custom menu making a white flash on screen).

My Specification

GNOME 49 Wayland
Fedora 43 Workstation
Blur My Shell v70

I am not sure

Flameshot uses xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome (Source: here

Gradia uses xdg-desktop-portal (org.freedesktop.portal.Screenshot)
