Does't effect when change background and restart system

Shell blur doesn't effect when I change my background wallpaper, and it doesn't effect when I restart system, I think some event didn't listen in js code.

How did you install the extension, from extensions.gnome.org? And which version of gnome do you use? And do you use a program to change you background, or it is simply set by the system settings?

I installed it from gnome.org, maybe latest version, and I change background in system settings by simplely right clik in background. Seems doesn't effect when restart also, but I uncheck and checked blur checkbox things will be ok. I am using pop os

I don't really understand how this could be possible... For example:

1. you change wallpaper A to wallpaper B, the overview blur is not changed (but the system wallpaper is actually changed)
2. you restart the system, the wallpaper is still B, but the Blur my Shell still shows a blurred version of wallpaper A?

If this really happens, this would mean that some runtime state is preserved between sessions, which is... not normal at all...

I think the same is happening to me, or at least something similar. If you have the panel blur, and you do

/usr/bin/gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:///home/romano/lib/backgrounds/ladybug.jpg

The background changes, but the panel just becomes transparent. As soon as you go to the activity screen, the panel is correctly shown blurred...

I wonder if some trigger on changed options in the org.gnome.desktop.background hierarchy is not enabled...

Hello @Rmano, the behaviour you described should (hopefully) be fixed by #546, as it completely changes how the background is fetched (as in, if the wallpaper works correctly, then the extension should too). Please reopen this issue if it still appears after the PR is merged!
