I'm using the pyautogui screenshot tool for a project and it's grabbing only my background and I haven't seen a solution to solve it yet. Does this always happen for Mac OS or is this just a me problem? I've also used the screenshot library but that returned a background only as well.
You should give access to your IDE for screen recording. There exist a solved issue on GitHub, you can check it from here: https://github.com/BoboTiG/python-mss/issues/134
