[BUG ?]: No window color refresh when wallpaper changes

Open breizh2944 opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug I use Open bar (auto-theme) in combination with Bing Wallpaper that changes wallpaper automatically and regularly. When the wallpaper changes, top bar, menus,... colors change but not open windows.

To Reproduce Run some GTK apps. Change the wallpaper. Colors in top bar, menus, ... are updated.

But colors on the GTK apps (title bar, panes...à are not updated.

Relevant Specs:

  • Open Bar version: 43
  • Gnome version: 48
  • OS/Distribution:Arch
  • Other installed extensions if interference is expected [Optional]: the extensions I have enabled that are related to visual effects are : burn my windows / Dash2dock animated / Rounded Window Corners Reborn

I don't know whether this is a Gnome limitation or a bug/evolution for the extension. I guess this kind of change should update all the opened windows, as when mode switches from light to dark ?

Yes, currently, some apps will not refresh the style until they are closed and reopened. This extension updates the style for the apps but they do not reload it for some reason. I will check if there is some workaround to get it to work, I'll plan it for the next version, Meanwhile, try closing and reopening the apps to refresh the style.

Thank you for posting! Keeping it open for tracking.
