Doing a sudo dnf install cutter did solve the problem for me

Same

trying to install clutter does not work.

Same problem in Debian Trixie (current testing) and Gnome 46

I solved the problem by installing the package gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0:

• apt install gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0
• logout from the current Gnome session

I got the solution from a similar issue: https://github.com/yozoon/gnome-shell-extension-blyr/issues/21

I guess there may be an equivalent package for Fedora et al.

This won't work for Fedora though ...

isn't clutter and cutter 2 different packages?

[ryd3v]

sudo dnf install clutter.x86_64 has fixed it for me.

[~]$ dnf search clutter

Doing a sudo dnf install clutter.x86_64 did solve the problem for me. Thank you

sudo apt install gir1.2-gtkclutter-1.0 solved it for me on Ubuntu 24.04, thanks!

It looks like clutter has been discontinued upstream: https://blogs.gnome.org/clutter.

This thread is for Fedora though, but glad you got it sorted out xD

This is because clutter is imported in the context of prefs.js. More specifically, prefs.js imports lib/shared.js, which imports the clutter.

[fflewddur]

Apologies for the confusion here. I've added instructions to the readme for installing the clutter dependency; I'll try to remove the need for that dependency in a future release.

[fflewddur]

The development version of TopHat no longer needs the clutter dependency, so I'm closing this issue.
