I was trying to create a screen mirror using a window that would show what is underneath it and update everytime it is moved or resized.

My main file is https://paste.pythondiscord.com/D4PQ
and my one dependency is https://paste.pythondiscord.com/A5MQ which is used solely to query the on-screen position of the pygame window I use

however, there is a strange offset between pyautogui.screenshot and the window position relayed by PGWinInfo, and I can't find a way to fix it.

For example if I move around the window several times, it would keep capturing a bit left of it, but also include itself, causing a semi-infinite mirror effect

similar to what this program does: https://www.ryobi.co.jp/products/visolve/en/
