Summary

  • Replace the joined action dock with a separate icon capsule for Select, Image, and Video.
  • Give the selected mode a clear blue fill and accent underline; keep the standalone red action button with its matching mode icon.
  • Update the Capture window README description and screenshot.

Validation

  • cargo build -p jiffshot --quiet
  • cargo test -p jiffshot --quiet (41 passed)

…iptive action button

- Replace the Selection dropdown with visible mode tiles (Region, Window,
  Fullscreen, Scrolling, Grab Text, More) so the most-used choice is one
  click and always visible; rarer modes live under More, which takes the
  picked mode's name. Video gets Region/Window/Fullscreen tiles.
- Group options into Before/After capture (While/After recording) columns
  so it is clear which settings shape the capture and which handle the
  result.
- Replace the round red Capture circle with a button that states the verb,
  what it captures and when (e.g. 'Region - in 3 s'), with the shortcut as
  'or press Print Screen'. Red is reserved for recording.

Simplify Capture window chrome and keep the reset command in Edit. Match Windows surfaces and the editor title bar to the DarkBlue palette.

Reserve a fixed two-line slot for the action detail so the mode capsule and
button do not shift when switching between Select, Image, and Video.
