I always had this layer rule:

```lua
local no_anim = {
    "selection",
    "hyprpicker"
}

for _, layer in ipairs(no_anim) do
    hl.layer_rule({
        match = {
            namespace = layer
        },
        no_anim = true
    })
end

```

Combined with this bind:

```lua
hl.bind("ALT + X", function()
    hl.dispatch(hl.dsp.exec_cmd(
        "hyprshot -m region -z -t 2000 --clipboard-only &&" ..
        defs.sound.play_cmd .. defs.sound.screenshot))
end)

```

And since `254d6bae775258b554e1d3a4a853f3bc244190d9`, it no longer respects `no_anim = true` when the layer is being closed.  
There is no animation when I open it, but it slides down when I take a screenshot.  
Got the commit with bisect.

I am positive this has been resolved on -git, not sure when exactly.
