Feature Description

Add an option to automatically apply a thin border around the entire screenshot.

Proposed behavior:

  • A configurable checkbox in settings: “Add border to screenshot”

  • Border applied after capture, before saving/copying.

  • Configurable parameters:

    • Border width (e.g. default: 2 px)

    • Border color:

      • Solid white

      • Fully transparent

      • Custom color (optional extension)

  • Border applies to:

    • Region captures

    • Active window captures

    • Active monitor / full screen captures

Why this matters:

  • Borders improve visual separation when screenshots are placed on white or dark backgrounds (documentation, messengers, issue trackers).

  • A 1–2 px border is a common requirement for technical documentation.

  • Avoids post-processing in external editors for a trivial operation.

  • Windows 11 “Snipping Tool” already provides this as a one-click option, proving the practicality of the feature.

This should be a simple, optional, non-intrusive enhancement that improves output quality and reduces manual editing steps.
