Kazam countdown hidden by full screen applications

[Eric Boillat]

I use kazam to put sound on .pdf presentation.

With the old version of kazam it was possible to start the capture with a delay (e.g 3sec). With this I had time to go to my .pdf presentation (open in acrobat reader) and to switch it to full-screen. The countdown was still visible for a while and I knew that it was time to speak when it was disappearing.

With the new kazam version (1.5...) the splash countdown is now covered by the full screen.pdf. The result is that I do not know exactly when to start speaking which compromises the synchronization
of my movies when I join them.

I would be really grateful if somebody can explain how to give to the kazam countdown first priority over all type of full screen applications.

In kazam/frontend/window_countdown.py

Try changing the line...

        self.window = Gtk.Window(...

To...

        self.window = Gtk.Window(Gtk.WindowType.POPUP)

Thanks a lot,

I tried it and it did not work ... (I think the python code was corrupted due to my modification).

As a result I had to reinstall kazam. What a surprise! it went back to the old version (with the old fashioned countdown) that was working perfectly well ! In some way my problem is now solved ... until a new installation will be needed :-C

Best regards and thanks for your help

Eric
