💅 gsr-ui(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, welcome to the gsr-ui(1) page — section 1 of the manual, user commands, the whole vibe. this is the one you send your friend at 2am when they're like "how do I screen record but like… shadowplay style". i gotchu 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gsr-ui — a fullscreen overlay UI for GPU Screen Recorder in the style of ShadowPlay. that's it, that's the icon 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

gsr-ui is a fullscreen overlay UI for GPU Screen Recorder, styled like ShadowPlay. iconic. no notes. it literally ate. ✨

so the tea is: the app is currently primarily designed for X11, but it can run on Wayland too, through XWayland. key word through XWayland, and lowkey there are some caveats because of Wayland limitations. not a bug, just Wayland being Wayland 😭

this interface is built mainly for use with keyboard shortcuts. and here's the part that trips people up, so pay attention bestie:

  • when you launch it for the first time, it just runs in the background, chillin', ready to receive shortcut keys. no window, no drama. it's in its quiet era 🧚
  • on a subsequent launch, the fullscreen overlay UI appears. that's the main character moment 👑

so like, first launch = lurk mode. second launch = slay mode. don't panic when nothing shows up the first time, that's literally the design. 💀
