F43 time-based transition is broken (again)
Today at 19:03, using the time-based version of the default wallpaper on Fedora 43, my wallpaper suddenly went from light to completely dark.
The last time this happened, the issue was fixed and a Python script was added to the repository that recursively scans for *.png files and checks each one for the presence of an alpha channel. See https://github.com/fedoradesign/backgrounds/issues/67. Since the Fedora wallpaper file format is now JPEG XL, this script no longer works. I am not sure if the cause of the current issue is the presence of an alpha channel in the wallpaper files and I do not currently have the appropriate software installed to confirm this.
The files contain an alpha channel, so I removed it and replaced the files in the appropriate directory, but unfortunately the transition still doesn't work as expected.
Unfortunately, I spoke too soon.
The update f43-backgrounds-43.0.2-1.fc43 returns the error No advisory found matching the requested name: "FEDORA-2025-d9c32606ef", so I installed f43-backgrounds-base-43.0.2-1.fc43.noarch.rpm and f43-backgrounds-gnome-43.0.2-1.fc43.noarch.rpm. I then tested by setting the clock manually, but it seems I didn't wait long enough and everything seemed fine. Now that it's around 19:45 local time, I realized that the transactions are still broken.
@hrismarin The new release removed transparency addressing the issue related to animation. Let know if the fix works on your side.
