Draw On Your Screen

Start drawing with Super+Alt+D. Then save your beautiful work by taking a screenshot.

Features

  • Basic shapes (rectangle, circle, ellipse, line, curve, text, free)
  • Smooth stroke
  • Draw over applications
  • Keep drawings on desktop background with persistence (notes, children's art ...)
  • Multi-monitor support
  • Export to SVG

Install

  1. Download and decompress or clone the repository
  2. Place the resulting directory in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
  3. Change the directory name to drawOnYourScreen@abakkk.framagit.org
  4. Xorg: type alt + F2 and r to restart gnome-shell
    Wayland: restart or re-login
  5. Enable the extension in gnome-tweaks or gnome-shell-extension-prefs
  6. Super + Alt + D to test
  7. https://framagit.org/abakkk/DrawOnYourScreen/issues to say it doesn't work

Details

  • Draw arrows:

Intersect two lines and curve the second thanks to the Ctrl key.

How to draw an arrow

  • Screenshot Tool extension:

Screenshot Tool is a convenient extension to “create, copy, store and upload screenshots”. To use it while drawing mode is active, toggle the area selection mode thanks to the Screenshot Tool shortcut (Super + F11 by default, see its preferences) and hold the space key when selecting the area with pointer to avoid drawing.
