The main capture window (with the red frame) seems to always stay behind Mac's menubar. This not only looks a bit ugly, it also makes it impossible to capture text on the menubar itself.

A similar effect can be observed in Gnome40 too.

@thecoder-001 Thanks for the report! Let's track problem on MacOS here in this ticket, and the Gnome problem in #121 . While the problem is indeed related, from my experience it is very likely that it has to be solved separately. I don't think there is a configuration that will work well on Gnome and MacOS, but that's also not necessary, as the configuration is chosen conditionally anyway,

For anyone who wants to take a look into this here is the relevant part of the code

PR #134 introduced a partial fix: The border is now drawn around whole screen, incl. dock & menubar. However, menubar & dock are still not selectable areas.

An alternative solution I found makes everything selectable, but won't accept keyboard input (No close via esc) and won't show the cross hair cursor.

Not sure, what's better. Please provide your opinion... :)

This issue was addressed in the latest pre-release NormCap v0.3.0-beta.
Would you mind help testing v0.3.0-beta and report back, if it solves this issue? Thanks!

The issue seems to be fixed on the latest beta release (except for the minor annoyance macOS's fullscreen titlebar behaviour can be while selecting stuff on the top, though that's the os's fault).
Thanks for the work!
