bug with 2 monitors

[ignavan39]

When working with more than one monitor, I observe the following:
on the main monitor everything works well, but on the additional one the transparency does not work

Ho, I thought it worked when I last tested it... Do you use any extension to extend the panel to the second monitor?

I will test it when I have another monitor with me :)

[ignavan39]

I use this extension :)

[ignavan39]

by the way, the previous version of the multi monitors add-on extension completely broke the session, so I'm not sure about its reliability, maybe there are some other options for it to be beautiful and reliable?

Thanks for the info, and sorry for not responding before!

I will test it with this extension, I guess that the changes will be straightforward, but I still don't have much time now :(

[ignavan39]

oh, well, if you tell me in more detail what kind of edits you need to add, then I can help :)

[aunetx]

Thanks a lot!

Actually, I don't really know: I guess that just looping over the monitors for some things should work :)

The things that need to be looped are probably:

• hide/show the corners when the extension is enabled/disabled
• the set_style calls (although I don't know on what... I have not tested the extension yet, so I don't know where it puts the array of panels ; maybe they're just Main.panel.get_parent's other children, which would be really cool)

And something else talks about a monitor in my code, but I really don't remember why... So maybe changing it would help, but I don't know why

Sorry, that are not good explanations at all :/ but if you want I will try to give it a try tomorrow or during the next days!
I will try to port this extension to gnome 40 by the way, but it will be hard (my preferences ui file is nastyyy)

[ignavan39]

I understand you.
oh, this is very cool 👍
and what are the difficulties with porting to gnome 40, what has changed?

[aunetx]

The immense difficulty is to port the settings (as it needs to be gtk4, and I don't have any idea how it handles tab now)...
And I think there are other things regarding transition to overview, but not sure!
