Errors

Great little app, but can't seem to get it to work for me... Any suggestions?

/usr/local/lib/node_modules/gnome-dark-apps/dark_apps.js:16
    if (windowIds.length) {
                  ^

Can you send me information about node and distro that you are using? You can run it locally from the sources just download the sources and from the directory run node ./dark_apps.js. It looks like there's a problem in getWindowIdsFromRaw function.

You can try to modify code to:

    if (windowIds && windowIds.length) {
        return windowIds;
    }

But I think that the problem is in data from the os. I didn't test it on Wayland.

Sure... I'm running Fedora 36 with kernel 5.19.4, GNOME 42.4, and Wayland on my Asus Zenbook UX425IA.

Adding windowIds && before windowIds.length seems to solve the issue...

Thank you for your help and your work on this clever little "app!"

I'm actually surprised that it's working with Wayland. I'll try to add this condition and push the new version to npm.

[moore-bryan]

Just to check back in... The success with this is inconsistent. For example, I have it run at startup and upon launching Slack, for which I'm using this, it works as expected; however, if I close Slack and reopen it, it fails to do anything.

Not sure where to troubleshoot that one!
