# GPU Screen Recorder UI
A fullscreen overlay UI for [GPU Screen Recorder](https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/about/) in the style of ShadowPlay.\
The application is currently primarly designed for X11 but it can run on Wayland as well through XWayland, with some caveats because of Wayland limitations.\
Note: This software is still in early alpha. Expect bugs, and please report any if you experience them. Some are already known, but it doesn't hurt to report them anyways.\
You can report an issue by emailing the issue to dec05eba@protonmail.com.
# Usage
Run `gsr-ui` and press `Alt+Z` to show/hide the UI. You can start the overlay UI at system startup by running `systemctl enable --now --user gpu-screen-recorder-ui`.
# Installation
If you are using an Arch Linux based distro then you can find gpu screen recorder ui on aur under the name gpu-screen-recorder-ui (`yay -S gpu-screen-recorder-ui`).\
If you are running another distro then you can run `sudo ./install.sh`, but you need to manually install the dependencies, as described below.
# Dependencies
GPU Screen Recorder UI uses meson build system so you need to install `meson` to build GPU Screen Recorder UI.
## Build dependencies
These are the dependencies needed to build GPU Screen Recorder UI:
* x11 (libx11, libxrandr, libxrender, libxcomposite, libxfixes, libxi)
* libglvnd (which provides libgl, libglx and libegl)
* linux-api-headers
## Runtime dependencies
There are also additional dependencies needed at runtime:
* [GPU Screen Recorder](https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder/)
* [GPU Screen Recorder Notification](https://git.dec05eba.com/gpu-screen-recorder-notification/)

# Known issues
* Some games receive mouse input while the UI is open
* Global hotkeys on Wayland can clash with keys used by other applications. This is primarly because Wayland compositors are missing support for global hotkey so this software uses a global hotkey system that works on all Wayland compositors.
* When the UI is open the wallpaper is shown instead of the game on Hyprland and Sway. This is an issue with Hyprland and Sway. It cant be fixed until the UI is redesigned to not be a fullscreen overlay.
