Gnome 43 is out, but the extension catalog entry is missing a version for it

Hello, there's an error with "Main.panel._leftCorner is undefined". Could you fix please the extension so it will work with gnome 42?
Thanks!

Add GNOME 44 support

Transparent Shell is currently unable to work in versions before GNOME 45.

https://gjs.guide/extensions/upgrading/gnome-shell-45.html#esm

With the Multi Monitors Add-On Extension only the main monitor has the transparency.
Don't know if that's fixable, as many extensions are not modifying the second monitor with that extension.

Problem description

First, thanks for this fantastic extension. It is adorable and makes the display look way better.

I love to have a fresh, dynamic, nice-looking desktop. And a considerable part of it is fulfilled by the desktop wallpaper.

To always have a surprising new image on the desktop, I have installed a nice wallpaper changer. It automatically downloads images from the internet and keeps the wallpaper always fresh on screen, accordingly to the configured frequency.

However when the top of the wallpaper has bright colors, the topbar icons and text become pretty hard to see as the contrast between both becomes very narrow. So, checking for simple information like the time, the icon's status, or any notifications becomes an annoying exercise of changing the wallpaper again and again.

Feature Request

• I would like to have an option for configuring the transparency percentual on the extension settings.
• Maybe something like the setting in this extension

hacking a version 41 in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/metadata.json seems to work

It would be nice to have the "Extension Homepage" URL on extensions.gnome.org pointing to this repo like many extensions have it.

In Gnome 3.38 the workspace overview background is not transparent on a different monitor

HI,

Could you make it that when in desktop mode, if a window touches eighter the top bar or task bar to turn the opacity to 100% for both (i.e., dynamic transparency ) but in overview mode always remain at 0% opacity ?

It would be nice to choose which of the UI elements are made transparent. For example to disable transparency on the Workspace view

In ubuntu 20.04, when the dock meets the top bar there is a line of 1 px that are black.

I realize that its hard to see due to the background.

Thank you for your awesome work.
