Dropbox capture forces purple circles on click

An update about 3 months ago forced all Dropbox capture clicks to show a purple circle around it.

This is not able to be turned off.
This ruins Dropbox capture for me.

        Hi Typpi,

         

        Thanks for getting in touch.

         

        We really appreciate your feedback and want you to know that we’re listening.

         

        If you’re interested, you could suggest this as an idea for others to vote on.

         

        It would help us gauge how many people feel the same way and would love to see this option in the future.

         

        Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything else.

      Apologies for the delayed response, I only just noticed your message.

      I utilize Dropbox Capture to record content for my clients. However, the purple overlay, which I find unnecessary, is obstructing some of the content. It would be beneficial to have the option to disable it. Since this feature was introduced with an update last year, I’ve been forced to switch to a different product instead of Dropbox Capture. If you review my capture history, you’ll notice that I ceased using it entirely after this update.
