Does Nothing

Not sure if I'm missing something, but it does not work at all?

Hello Danny,

Please provide more details. I will need to be able to reproduce the issue you are facing so it can be fixed.

• Gnome version? ( I guess 42.x but let me know).
• Please verify that the extension is enabled or if it encountered an error (you can check with Extension Manager or Glass Grid)
• If successfully enabled, open settings and add border width, color, alpha etc so it is easier to see changes. Then try changing Bar Type.
• Make sure the alpha values for colors aren't zero (transparent) when changing colors.
• What you finally see will depend on the selected settings. Finer control means that you would need to make sensible choices.

Note: For Menus, next version will provide better support

Hello,

I'm on Ubuntu 22 LTS - Gnome 42.9 . Extension is enabled. Also use Blur My Shell Extension.

I have tried many different setting and even after logging out and back in, no changes. I also tried setting the Gnome shell to default using Tweak Tool.

I am also on Ubuntu LTS with G 42.9 so this is unexpected. Your extension settings seem fine. Also, you've tested with default gnome shell theme so custom theme shouldn't be an issue. In any case, not seeing any change in Top bar by changing the extension settings points mainly to the issue that the extension is Not enabled successfully. Run this command in terminal to see if extension appears in enabled list: gnome-extensions list --enabled

Then, disable the extension through some tool or with command gnome-extensions disable openbar@neuromorph and in the terminal run following command to monitor the logs journalctl /usr/bin/{gjs,gnome-shell} -fo cat

Now, enable the extension again using a tool or this command gnome-extensions enable openbar@neuromorph

Watch the log in the journalctl command tab. If you see any error for openbar, let me know.

This is what I'm getting:

After disabling the extension again, I get this:

After logging out and back in, the error clears.

OK, that looks like a bug. The items in the panel are dynamic (they come and go) and so resetting is getting tricky as I am working on the next update. This issue is also related to the same. I will fix it in the next update.

Thanks for reporting! Leave it disabled for now and enable once you get notified of the update.

[in4matix]

Thanks for your assistance. Looking forward to the update.

Quick update: New version is almost ready in github g42-44 branch if you would like to try out (includes support for menus). I would like to do a bit more tests and then submit to Gnome extensions-web. Also, the Gnome review might take some time before it can be published. It should work fine but if you face any issues feel free to ping here. Note: the default settings may not be good, as I haven't specifically set them yet (likely to be mostly just white color :)

[neuromorph]

Update: I have added more finishes and fixes in git and it is ready. Let me know if you try it out. I will iron out, in case any issues and then submit to Gnome extensions.

Thank you.

New version is up now in Extensions web. You should also get an update notification from the Extensions app of Glass Grid. Thus, I am closing this issue as resolved, if you face any problems please raise a new issue. Thanks!
