v0.20.0

• Screen recording. Super+Ctrl+R records the current screen,
  Super+Alt+R a region you drag out, Super+Ctrl+Alt+R the focused window.
  Each chord is a toggle: the same keys that start a take end it. While
  recording, the bar shows a pulsing dot and the elapsed time; click it to stop,
  right-click it to open the capture settings. Recordings land in your Videos
  folder. Encoding uses the GPU when the machine has one and falls back to the CPU
  with a notification, so a take never silently fails. Sound comes from the
  system output by default (AUDIO=mic or none to change it); MP4, MKV and WebM
  are supported. Recording all monitors at once is not possible — pick one.
  The update installs wf-recorder and imagemagick for you.

  One step by hand: your own bar config does not pick up the new indicator
  block on its own. To make the bar show it, reset that file to the shipped
  default:

  w-reset quickshell .config/quickshell/w/config/bar.json
  

  This replaces your bar.json (the bar layout) with the shipped one — the
  current copy is backed up first — so if you have customised the bar, you may
  prefer to add the recording block by hand instead.

• Screen capture settings in the Hub. Hub → Displays has a new
  "Screen capture" tab: encoder, sound, format, frame rate and screenshot
  annotator, all changeable from the keyboard. The same settings are available as
  w-record get|set and w-screenshot get|set, and, as everywhere in W, as
  w-conf set --user record KEY VALUE.

• Window screenshots and recordings now have rounded corners and a shadow.
  With no annotator (--copy, --save) or in Satty, a window screenshot gets
  transparent rounded corners matching your theme and a soft macOS-style shadow.
  Turn the shadow off with w-conf set --user screenshot WINDOW_SHADOW no.
  Window recordings can paint the corners black too
  (w-conf set --user record WINDOW_MASK yes); that is off by default because
  it forces CPU encoding for window takes. Flameshot captures are unchanged.
  Themes with square windows get no mask.

• Active-window screenshots include the window border. The capture used to cut
  the frame off along the straight edges, because the border is drawn outside the
  window's own rectangle. This has been so since window screenshots arrived in
  v0.19.0; it also applies to window recordings and to the Flameshot preselection.

• The selection overlay looks the same for screenshots and recordings: no fill,
  a 1 px frame and a neutral 65 % dim (Flameshot's dim is now the same depth).
  The overlay fades out instantly, so it no longer ends up in the capture.

• Satty opens at the size of your capture instead of a fixed 70 % window.
  It is capped at 80 % of the screen: a small region no longer opens as a huge
  window, and a full-screen capture still fits with margin.
