Blur is reset.

[webmastak]

Blur is reset if you are in a review when the desktop wallpaper changes.
Or when changing the time at the clock of the program Variety -> every minute there is a change of the desktop image. Is there an opportunity to fix this?

And when rebooting the system, the background becomes gray before restarting Gnome Shell.

Some code called array.toString() on a Uint8Array instance. Previously this would have interpreted the bytes of the array as a string, but that is nonstandard. In the future this will return the bytes as comma-separated digits. For the time being, the old behavior has been preserved, but please fix your code anyway to explicitly call ByteArray.toString(array).
(Note that array.toString() may have been called implicitly.)

Hm, I think this issue is similar to the one reported in #18
It seems to be caused by these wallpaper change programs/extensions not emitting the same signals as changing the wallpaper with gnome-settings does. Even though I tried different mechanisms of triggering the blur update routines in my extension I still haven't found a reliable solution.

[yozoon]

Did my changes to the extension fix the problem with Variety @webmastak? My changes are currently pushed to the master branch, so you can test them by manually installing the extension ;)

[webmastak]

I installed the master from the branch, writes to the log that the functions worked without errors, but all the same problems with the reset blyr when changing the wallpaper!

I can’t understand why this is happening. 😟

Blur is reset if you are in a review when the desktop wallpaper changes.
Changing the time at the clock of the program Variety every minute there is a change of the desktop image and blur is reset if you are in a review. 😟 Nothing helps, even your support for dynamic wallpapers!

[webmastak]

The developer ignores my questions, he doesn’t care how his product works. 😡

[yozoon]

Are you using the Xorg or Wayland session?

[webmastak]

Xorg

[webmastak]

GNOME Shell 3.36
It's been almost a year since the issue was filed.
Blur is still reset if you are in a review when the desktop wallpaper changes!!!!!! 😡

[webmastak]

The author didn't give a damn about this problem 😡
