SUMMARY
Spectacle used to have a nice UI with a sidebar that allowed to access all
important options with a single click. Now the main options are hidden in a
"new screenshot" menu, requiring two clicks and navigation in a menu with
smaller click targets than the old buttons, making it slower to quickly take a
screenshot, e.g., of a certain point in an animation or video. Other parts of
the UI are now moved into a settings menu. While options like "quit after save"
might be something that is changed rarely, direct access to the "delay before
taking the screenshot" was very useful.
I am not sure what the rationale for the changes were, but I think in most my
use-cases I have more clicks and the bit of horizontal space for the preview
doesn't seem a too big advantage when I also can resize the window. One could
consider putting the elements at top or bottom, such that a windows with a
default ratio like 1:1 or 4:3 would have space for buttons and a widescreen
screenshot at the same width as it has with the version 6.5.1 UI.

The number input widget looks a bit broken inside the menu. Do you know against
which KDE/Plasma component I should report a bug for that?
