[BUG]: Window shadow problem

Open 7system7 opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug Since I tried this extension, some of apps has weird window shadowing problems. e.g. the Tidal app, or the Teams app. Both are flatpak apps.

And btw a much-much bigger problem is that , there is no real "reset to default" button on this extension. If I uninstall the extension the settings that the extension changed, will stay changed. And the reset button will restore the changes that Open Bar did.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Install Open Bar
  • See that, it will changes a lot of things automatically
  • There is weird issue with some app's window shadow
  • Uninstall Open Bar
  • The changes stays

Relevant Specs:

  • Open Bar version: 43
  • Gnome version: 48
  • OS/Distribution: Arch linux
  • Other installed extensions if interference is expected [Optional]: I disabled all. And actually tried this in a newly installed VM w/ vanilla GNOME.

Screenshots

This actually does not shows that, it is vibrating. So annoying. 😢

Workaround

The apps that reproducing this problem are also wrong somehow. I figured out that, the flatpak version of Teams and Tidal has smaller gaps between the window control buttons:

instead of this:

So, I disabled the condition to run these apps under Wayland, and the problem fixed. But I think obviously, the bug what I mentioned above still persists, this is just a Workaround.
