Provide an option to add a colored frame around screenshot

Description

Before using Greenshot I used the Windows 7 provided tool called SnippingTool.

What is missing in Greenshot and very useful in SnippingTool is the ability to have a thin frame around the screenshot.

This is useful when you capture some white background region and want to delimit the capture region when copying it in a word document for example.

I agree, the Border Option shall be configurable with colors and line thickness because a black border can not be seen on black background.
Please add this simple feature asap.

 

Thx!

would be nice, if the Border Option can be configured with colors and line thickness

You can do this (in ver 1.2) with the Border menu entry from the Effects icon. It doesn’t give you any control over line color or line thickness. It’s always black, but you can apply this effect multiple times to increase thickness as much as you want.
