is this on xorg or wayland?

slottwo commented 3 years ago

I can't say, I think it's xorg, because once I tried to install the wayland and failed miserably, I had to build several necessary packages from the source code, and after a week of research and completion I gave up and formatted the PC. However, I did not find any command in the terminal related to x11 or xorg. But I think the answer may be a third one (mixed with the xorg answer): Nvidia X Server 390.138. I'm a complete noob, I'm sorry

I tried to disable the shadows manually, but the solutions I found on the forums involved editing the file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, but this file not exist. The only items in this directory are bookmarks and settings.ini

The extension should just avoid blurring shadows rather than getting rid of them altogether. Is that the case?

slottwo commented 3 years ago

Got it! Before I thought that the extension removed the shadows because of a blur bug that could be the fault of the shadows in gnome. blur video.mp4 (For some reason, the GIF was larger than the original file and exceeded 10 MB, so I just rerecorded it with "standard" quality and put it in Drive)

The artifacts around where the shadow is when over a blurred window is actually a Gnome bug. View it here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2857. At the moment, I don't know a workaround for this

Oh, got it. Okay then. I'll wait if they can solve it. Thanks for listening.
