GNOME Shell Extension - Transparent Top Bar

A GNOME Shell extension that brings back the transparent top bar when free-floating in GNOME Shell 3.32.

This basically comes from the feature implementation removed in GNOME Shell 3.32, and I modified the code a bit to make it an extension. Enjoy!

Gnome Shell v. 44.0 | Installation fails

Installation attempted via web-site extensions.gnome.org.

Hello. I can reasonably assume that this extension is being running on your system. Then for you, to uninstall and attempting to reinstall it, would be an adequate procedure to start an investigation.

Remove transparency only if the window is maximized instead of by proximity

I really like Elementary OS and its smart transparent top panel.

One of the features they have is that they make the top panel solid only when a window is full screen. This makes sense because it's when you lose any context of the desktop, and when you want to focus on only one thing. If you have open only a small window, and that window is touching the top bar, the transparency is not really something that disturbs you.

I've successfully implemented this easily editing the source code of the extension, but I'm wondering if you would be open to a PR to add this behaviour, maybe as an optional setting.

Top Bar Curved Corners Have Different Opacity in Gnome 40

The Gnome top bar has two corners that curve downwards. However, when the rest of the top bar is transparent, the corners have a different opacity than the rest of it.
Affected version:
Wayland

Problem:

Error on upgrade

OS info: Fedora 35
Using GNOME Application Platform version 41

fully black in gnome 41

in gnome 41 the transparent bar is fully black

Not working on Ubuntu 21.10

Hi, my top panel doesn't become transparent after I installed this extension. I am using Ubuntu 21.10 with Wayland. Is Wayland supported?

Opaque TopBar with Desktop Icons Enabled

I've tried two Desktop Icons extensions (The 1st and The 2nd) and with both of them, the Transparent TopBar considered a window touching the TopBar, making it opaque while there is only the desktop icons enabled.

Crashes after system suspension on GNOME 3.36.8 (Ubuntu 20.04)

The extension crashes (cannot be re-enabled in extension manager and showing 'ERROR' on extension webpage) after system suspension.

In Looking Glass lg it says there's an error in the extension Error: Argument 'instance' (type interface) may not be null.

How do I adjust the transparency of the top bar?

Hello!

I have recently started using this extension on Gnome 41, I previously used to use a fork of this repo which had the option of changing the transparency using the extensions settings itself

Unfortunately, this extension doesnt seem to have a similar option.

How can I manually adjust the transparency of the top bar using this current extension if I wish to?

Thank you!

Not working fine after locking screen and unlock

When Chrome is the only app running, the transparency of the top bar doesn't change when maximizing / unmaximizing Chrome window.

Line 71 in 0d95836

 if (Main.panel.has_style_pseudo_class('overview') || !Main.sessionMode.hasWindows) { 

Gnome 40 would set the color of top bar to sth other than black:

However with this extension enabled, it would be like this:

Since the color is already set by gnome, maybe it is better to keep its default behavior.

Request: Support for GNOME 3.38

Installing the extensions from the website gives an error, however, after changing src/metadata.json to include 3.38 and installing manually, it can be turned on. However, it will always stay transparent, even when a window is maximized.

Top bar not transparent with Desktop Icons NG extention enabled

The top bar is not transparent whenever I have the Desktop Icons NG extension enabled. When turning all extensions on and off, the top bar is transparent for a second, and goes back to black when the desktop icons are loaded. My guess is that the top bar extension thinks of the desktop extension as a maximized window?
I use Manjaro 12.1 and GNOME 40.3

Add opacity settings

I want to have 0 opacity when there is no full-screen window. Can we add settings for it?

Cannot find this extension via GNOME Software?

Hello. I'm having some trouble installing this extension. I'd like to install it via GNOME Software, but for some reason it doesn't come up in a search. Any idea why this might be?

I can of course see the extension webpage via my browser, but if I search for it (e.g. "transparent", "transparent top bar", "zhanghai", etc.) it doesn't come up. There is another, older extension with the same name which does come up.

I'm running GNOME 3.34. Could it be because this extension is targeting 3.32? Any advice? Thanks.

Bug with 2 monitors

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

i am using extension Extension

Many log warnings on Gnome 40

Every time the top bar turns transparent the following warnings are logged:
