Show part of your screen in 8-bit grayscale
Project description
monolens
Show part of your screen in 8-bit grayscale.
Usage
Run monolens in a terminal on the screen that you want to look at.
- Drag the lens around by holding a Mouse button down inside the window
- Resize the lens by pressing up, down, left, right
- To refresh the lens press the spacebar (see limitations)
- To quit, press Q
Limitations
- Pulling the window to another screen is currently not supported. To switch screens,
you need to run
monolensfrom a terminal on that screen. This limitation will hopefully be lifted in the future. - The lens uses a static screenshot which has to be manually updated if the screen content changed. Press spacebar to update the lens (which causes it to flicker).
- On OSX, you need to give
monolenspermission to make screenshots, since an ordinary App is not allowed to view pixel outside of its window for security reasons.monolenshas no networking code implemented at all, so it is safe to use.
