GTK4 (gnome 40) support

[Gouster4]

Hi. I know gnome 40 is still in alfa stage, but it would be cool if you can adopt this extension.

Generally its working pretty well on gnome 40. Major Issue I am seeing with gnome 40 is that when you open the overview/mission control (Where you see all workspaces + the dock) and close it again, the top bar will be black regardless of whether there is a window near or not.

Once you interact with a window, it snaps back to the correct state though.

I will see what I can do! If there are other issues regarding gnome 40, feel free to put them here (so I can fix them when I have the time) :)

I found that this error occurs when I try to open the extension settings

Gtk.BuilderError: /home/nila/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/fully-transparent-top-bar@aunetx/prefs.ui:24:40 Invalid property: GtkBox.border_width

Thanks for the info, the settings are still not ported to GTK4... Although this will be relatively easy, but I need first to port the rest of the extension I guess!

Hi,
Thanks you a lot for your extension!
Do you have any news on the gtk4/gnome 40 version?
Thanks you!

Hi,
I just got a new laptop, and I would love to know where to get the config files of the extension on my desktop?
My laptop and my desktop are configured the same way, and the smart transparent topbar settings are the last thing I need to do.
Thanks a lot!

[aunetx]

I'm sorry for the delay @Froggy232... the settings can be configured from gsettings, or a GUI (for example dconf), but I don't know the exact path, probably something like org.gnome.shell.extensions.smart-transparent-topbar or something like that

TBH I don't plan to update this extension for gnome 40, as alternatives exist and I focus mainly on support Blur my Shell... But BmS will soon have a way to mimic this extension's behaviour

BmS being able to mimic this will work fine for me ^^ Maybe put a deprecation notice in the readme so others will know to use BmS instead

[aunetx]

Yeah, good idea!
TBH implementing this in BmS will not be done today, but I can try to finish it in a week or too! And OFC, will notice you when this is done :)

Sounds great! Already got BmS and I was kinda expecting this transition to happen :D they go well together. Both great extensions!

[aunetx]

I added the notice :)

Thanks a lot! To be honest I have not a lot of merit for Smart Transparent Topbar, I just did a fork and tried to play with it... But BmS is better at least :p

[Froggy232]

Thanks you a lot, implemented in BMS is perfect!
