Use Selection Box to tune the drawing surface

Selection Box controls the visual surface that appears while you drag across the screen. It changes how the unselected screen is dimmed and how the selected rectangle is outlined and filled.

These controls do not change the captured content. They change the visual cues used while you choose that content.

Border color

Border opacity

Sets the visibility of the region outline.

Fill color

The controls use sliders for opacity and color pickers for the border and fill. Reset to Defaults restores the Selection Box settings.
