Share focused Window

Hello,

Thank you for making this! It works great.

Is it possible to add a feature that will share the "currently focused" window?

I think that will make it great since the screen layout is still what the presenter has to conveniently present and the audience will be able to follow things. I believe OBS does that, but it is a virtual camera not an application that can be shared.

Option to define dimensions

Just came across this app and it looks quite promising. Do you have any intention of adding options to specify dimensions of the window?

Version 1.1 shows "1.0" on the about screen

This is obviously not a serious issue, but: the about screen for version 1.1 wasn't updated to reflect the new version. It still says "1.0"

Hide Title Bar/Window Chrome when sharing application.

Would it be possible to hide the PortionOfScreen Title Bar/Window Chrome and make the Window 'chromeless' when screen share is active/app not focussed?

I'm using FanzyZones to resize the applications accordingly but when sharing, the top of whatever application I'm sharing is cropped by the Title Bar. The TitleBar is also visible to the end user who is receiving the screen share.

If the window was chromeless a red border could be added when focussed indicating the window dimensions and for resizing.

Moving the window could be performed when left clicking anywhere within the app window and dragging.

Right click could then 'Hide' the app/Send to the back if this is overlapping the target app/area.

Version 1.1 led teams crash when I stop sharing

Hi,

I've downloaded 1.1 and since then Teams is crashing when I stop sharing. Now I've downloaded 1.0 and the problem is solved for me.
Can someone approve?

Regards

Andreas

problems while sharing

Good day, we are planning to use PortionOfScreen in our company, but we are facing various problems.
We are using a HP Z40c with a resolution of 5120x2160 pixels. To organize the screen we use Microsoft Power Toys and FancyZones.
PortionOfScreen is fitted in a smaller zone and selected as a window to be shared. We have the problem that the shared image is only displayed in a reduced size on the opposite side. Furthermore, the program has a strange display of the background when opened. Please find pictures attached.
Contrary to other programs it is possible with Portion of Screen to hand over the control. For this reason we would like to stick to this program and kindly ask for an update.
Kind regards

mouse pointer disappears when sending the window to background

mouse pointer disappears when sending the window to background which is not good. I need the mouse pointer in the presentation.

Workflow improvement

Hi,

Is it possible to somehow improve the workflow with this tool?

Currently, when you start sharing, the PortionOfScreen window is brought to front automatically, and if you click, you get the how-to dialog about usage. That's a good idea when you use it for the first time, maybe, but not for regular usage.

When you start sharing, you then need to immediately go to taskbar and select another window so you can work. I forget to do this maybe 90% of time and the sharing session starts with unpleasant confusion on both sides, when I start shuffling window, minimize the PortionOfScreen window by accident (which automatically stops sharing) .... etc.

I have several suggestions:
a) Can we click through the window, instead of bringing up the how-to dialog? Essentially, we do not want a window, but a frame only, which can be used to be screen-shared with someone.

b) If not, can we at least make the window "hide itself" when brought to front? Somehow recognize the fact that the sharing has been initiated, so the window would travel to the very background of the screen and the other windows which are prepared in the shared screen area are immediately ready to be clicked at?

There is another tool, Region to Share, which does the workflow better, but uses way too much CPU and the shared region is always somewhat "off" to what the user has selected.

Hide In Taskbar

It would be a nice thing be able to hide the app in the Taskbar and avoid an extra icon on the screen
