Yeah, they're pretty diligent, but I expected a new Stable release by now..., although, Stable has the highest download count in it's history! (y)

It has lots of features, and I hardly touched the sides when I was looking at it.

A bit more help with some settings and features may be a benefit to newbies.

Agreed, they are a bit lax in the department of documentation/manuals!
I'll help when I can but, I don't know everything either! ;-)

Just discovered this:
When using the ShareX Full Screen Viewer, if you any-click, anywhere on any monitor, it will dismiss the preview immediately...,
... unless you have a ShareX UI element open, such as the ShareX Toolbar, for instance, then the Preview will remain pinned while you interact with other programs on other monitors.
(Don't know why I never thought about it before!) 🤷‍♂️

The Viewer, by the way, displays extremely good quality renderings!

Sometimes, app themes can be quite unsatisfactory, too dark, too light, font is too small, etc.
Thankfully, in ShareX's Theme page, you can customize the UI to your liking, whether complimenting your Windows accent color, or, whatever you wish.

Once you have created a theme you are happy with, simply use the Export feature and save it as a .json file, then use the Import feature on any subsequent installations to apply the theme instantaneously.

I have been using sharex for several years. I mostly use it for scrolling capture of a very long list. Normally, after I select "scrolling capture" I get a screen that pops up for me to tweak the capture settings. After the capture, I get another screen that lets me clean up the image and upload it. Today when I tried to use it, I didn't get either of those screens. What can I do to get them back
