Gnome apps' window breaks when using pixel saver. #35

Open WinnerWind opened 8 months ago

WinnerWind commented 8 months ago

When the Pixel Saver applet is added to the panel, regardless of the setting used, Gnome apps like Software, Nautilus (file manager), Image Viewer, Gnome Clocks etc. have two window bars instead of one. This makes the application have two window bars, and leaves a large empty space which cannot be clicked through, nor allow the Gnome app to extend past. image Note how in the image the desktop background is visible through the themed title bar (from the GTK theme) , but also shows the Gnome app's title bar in the window. This empty space makes it hard to multi task because now there is unnecessary padding on every Gnome window image Again note how the window behind it (which is Vesktop) is visible through the Gnome app. More examples of Gnome Apps breaking

Note : When the app is full screened, it works as intended, except the fact that Gnome apps' window bar still exists, which would not be a problem because the plugin has an option to disable the panel's window bar if it cannot be removed (Hide for client side decorated windows) image

Removing the plugin fixes the problem. image

Further details OS: Arch Linux x86_64 Kernel: 6.8.2-arch1-1 DE: Budgie 10.9.1 WM: Mutter(Budgie)

Note : gnome-console suffers from this issue, but gnome-terminal does not, and I am not sure why.

Hey @WinnerWind, thanks for the detailed info. Unfortunately I have stopped using budgie and stopped working on this project

Will update readme about this.

Hi there! It's a shame that such a beautiful plugin has lost support, but I do understand; everyone has their lives. Sadly I am not a developer and I don't think that I would be able to fork this and fix this issue. Thank you for making the plugin, because it already works plenty :)
