Background-view does nothing #124

Closed UltraBlackLinux closed 2 years ago

UltraBlackLinux commented 2 years ago

Hey there, I just wanted to set up background view for use with linux-wallpaperengine, but it turns out, that it refuses to do anything when toggled, even with the default mpv settings and just a file selected. I remember that it was working at some point, but I accidently exited mpv with my quit keybind, followed by wayfire crashing. I am running wayfire-git r2199.94f15048-1 and wayfire-plugins-extra-git r148.bcadd22-1 installed from the AUR. Why is this happening? Is it a known issue which has an easy solution? Thanks!

Have you checked the wayfire log to see if there was a problem loading it? It's possible w-p-e plugins need to be rebuilt.

Welp it seem like rebuilding might have actually fixed it, thank you! It's working as it should, I am very pleased

Oh it seems as if this is not entirely solved. When booting into wayfire I have to toggle the background view twice for it to apply, otherwise it will just show the default wallpaper. This can't be intentional.

If you only want linux-wallpaper, then maybe have autostart not start wf-background in the first place.

Oh yeah right, I forgot to remove that. Does it overlay over background view?

I think when multiple surfaces request to be background, the last one wins. Wayfire doesn't try to manage a particular stacking order in this case.

Welp, removing wf-background from autostart seems to have fixed this. Thanks again. I need to get used to such modularity xD
