Some of the shortcuts are not working. Once I enter drawing mode, I can't leave drawing mode because the shortcut mode is not working.

Need Help! Using ctrl while drawing does not make it smooth 😞
I am using GNOME 43.4 on Manjaro.

If I try to follow the link provided in the README I get

404 - Page not Found
We couldn't find the page you were looking for, /extension/4937/draw-on-you-screen-2/

I also couldn't find the extension using the GNOME Extensions Search

I'm not sure if this is because of the new GNOME 45 release or intendet.

Hello,
thanks for providing useful extension to Gnome.
In 2 in 1 laptops, and it can happen that a user does not want/have to access to keyboard.
so it will be awesome if the extension has active extension on Top Bar.
Thanks

Thanks for make drawOnYourScreen works at Gnome 42.
However, is there a way to change color instead of using default 9 color?
And how to change default palette size?

I was using this on Fedora 37 with Gnome-43, but after upgrading to Fedora-38 with Gnome-44 It stopped working

I had this extension working perfectly on my PC (Ubuntu 22 LTS) then my SSD failed so I had to re-install from scratch and now I can't find the extension on the Gnome Shell Extensions webpage anymore?

• New .po files necessary for right translation
• New languages translation needed

Right now, I have 1 big screen (screen2) and 1 small (screen1) screen on my PC. Screen2 is set as "primary screen" in Gnome.

DrawOnYourScreen2 only allow me to draw sometime on my screen1 and sometime on my screen2 without explanations.

I'd like to have the choice Drawing on screen1 / screen2 (/Extended screen ?) in the contextual menu.

With new UI we can start drawing mode from System Settings (without knowing hot keys), but how to leave the drawing mode?

It will be nice to have Leave drawing mode option in this menu

Hey guys,

Thanks for the excellent tool!
Is there a way to create an ellipse that's not a circle? I'm fairly certain there is, but I can't quite figure out how...

Thanks in advance!

Would be great to configure your own default tool & color, e.g. I always use the rectangle in orangered.

I suggest to make the drawing mode indicator stylistically unified with the screen recording indicator, i.e. add a bright color to the background, for example green or blue.

Hi,

would a setting that allows copying the hex value after picking it, be a feature you would seeing being added ?

something like this: "Copy hex value of color after picking it to clipboard 📋"

This is an old issue that blocks this extension of being used from a mobile device. What i'm thinking right now is

• Add a button in quick settings to enter drawing mode
• Add a quit button in extension menu (left click)

The button on quick settings must be an option in preferences!

Is this the best option?

I'd like to suggest a speech bubble option: You just point and click somewhere and a speech bubble opens at that point where you can write/comment on something.

Hi
I just saw your job and it was exactly what I wanted all along
I'm just wondered that are you interested in adding Farsi (Persian Language) to your program?
I can help in that case

Is there a blur tool or blur fill option available in this extension currently or any future plans to add that functionality?

• Replace Treeview for custom widget with ShortcutLabel

This will allow DOYS2 to better follow GNOME HIG with libadwaita.

The extension is not available in the gnome repository and the link provided is broken : https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4937/draw-on-you-screen-2/

Hi, can you add gnome 42 compatibility? thx

This will allow huge drawings and improve note taking.

• Should be activate by ctrl + "+"
• Zooming with ctrl + wheel
• Pinch to zoom

This extension stop working in gnome 45. Tried forcing it, seems like might take some work

Is there a way to use this extension with a touchscreen on wayland ?

Hi,
First of all, thank youh for this awesome plugin 💯

Please could you add the arrow shape to the list of available object/shapes usable ?

I would love to submit it as a PR but I am not a gnome dev and I do not really understand the code I checked (and I hate JS)
So I will hope you guys could help to add this..

Thanks a lot again!

Hey guys, trying to install this extension in Kali Linux.

When i'm trying to enable the extension from the Extensions section, i get the following error message:

class heritage OsdWindow.OsdWindowConstraint is not an object or null

I tried both methods of instalation:

• Manually
• in gnome extensions

Both didn't work to me

Thanks for the great extension!

I don't see any tooltips when hovering over buttons in the floating control window

I'm using it on Fedora 38 + Wayland.

When i try to install it from gnome extensions its not showing in there.
I also try to install this manually. Its installed but its not working. Can you fix this?

Gnome 45 introduced new standards for the extension API (https://release.gnome.org/45/developers/index.html#gnome-shell-extensions) which is fixed in main

However, several major distros are still shipping older version of Gnome (Ubuntu 22 LTS, Fedora 39, amongst others). These users can no longer use this extension. At the current time, the way to install this extension on older Gnome versions is something like the following:

cd .local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
git clone https://github.com/zhrexl/DrawOnYourScreen2.git [email protected]
cd [email protected]
## now go back in time to before the Gnome45 changes were merged:
git reset --hard b8567d1f

A suggestion is to have an official branch, (possibly named main/preGnome45support)that allows extension releases that are compatible with Gnome < 45. As this plugin is pretty stable, and doesn't have a great number of commits, it shouldn't become too much of an issue. At the time of running, there is only one commit that would need to be cherry-picked on to the new branch.

The colour picker tool does not work properly and causes one major bug:

When you select the tool and left-click to select a colour it does register and pick the colour seen, but the tool never disappears:
the colour picker tool still remains active after exiting drawing mode and "hijacks" the mouse / most keyboard keys. Making it impossible to click with the mouse or send individual any alpha numeric key presses.

The same thing happens when you enter Drawing mode, choose the colour picker tool and exit drawing mode.

Shortcuts to select another tool (like polygon) do change the tool and let you draw again, but only in drawing mode, and do not remove the colour picker tool.

You are able to use key-combinations outside of drawing mode but not to type anything:
such as Super + Alt + D to re-enter drawing mode and use any keyboard input again

Only way to reclaim the mouse is to logout via a shortcut or shutdown by long pressing the power button.

Ubuntu: 22.04 LTS

Hello, I think it would be great if I could use "eraser" for example by right-clicking, I can remove drawing by Delete, but it will remove whole plating, using eraser I could remove only part of drawing.

A smooth tool will allow smoothing any draw object not only the last drawn.

The drawing takes time to appear the first time and when it appears it does not follow what the mouse pointer drew.

Observe the mouse pointer: in the example below, the first line on the left took a while to appear, the others appear as they are drawn.

Versions:

• Fedora 40 / Kernel 6.0.18-200.fc36.x86_64
• DrawOnYourScreen2: 12.7
• Gnome 46
• Windowing System X11

It would be good if there was a way to activate without the keyboard commands.

Ctrl key and associated shortcuts like ctrl+c, ctrl+v stop working after you leave the drawing mode, have to logout and login again or restart to make them work again

What should I do if I call functions (enter/exit painting mode, enter/exit mouse keyboard...) through a script instead of through shortcut keys?

Hey guys! i'm using this amazing tool in my Kali Linux (cloned from github, not from gnome-extensions) and I would like to know if there is a way to setup a default settings when I start the tool.
And I'm not able to access to the settings screen that the old version has (in gnome-extensions)

In this menu:

• I would like to have something like 3px for default, color: red, line, etc
  

what should i do

gnome-shell --version

Hello,

The URL https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4937/draw-on-you-screen-2/ returns 404 not found. Is this an error, or is there an alternative?

Thanks!

Hi. Thank you for an incredibly useful tool!

The new quicksettings toggle is shown for me below the Background apps view, which seems wrong.

To me the logical thing would be for it to be shown together wit the other toggles.

Thanks again!

• Write a script (.sh) that install this extension and ship it in releases

Hi, GNOME 46 has been released, and, again and unfortunately, there seems to be more to do than "just bump GNOME version in metadata.json". I get:

TypeError: (intermediate value).StaticColor is undefined

shown in the extensions app. I don't know where to look for more detailed infos though, unfortunately.

I press Super+Alt+D and nothing happens or it behaves as Alt+D to whatever program is open.

Hey, I've seen a short note in README.md that touch support is ... planned?
Any chance to know if/when this can be implemented.
I'm looking myself into the code but this is completely new field - I don't even know where to start.

Hi,

This tool seems great, it was recomended to me for the usecase of drawing on the screen before taking a screenshot.

In this context I would find it super useful to be able to highlight things. While a dedicated highlight tool would be amazing, I think that might not be necessary to get started: I was thinking just being able to use a semi-transparent color would be enough.

Is there anyway of adding a transparent color to the palette ? Any pointers as to how to do this ? If necessary I'm okay making changes in the code to get it to work.

What are the main obstacles to doing this?

Best,

Hi and thanks again! :)

The quickesettings toggle is very useful, but it's not for me. I'd appreciate a settings option to turn it off. Thanks! :)
