Strange dimming effect when setting sRGB image as desktop background image and activating desktop icons
Last modified: 2017-05-18 17:52:23 UTC
I have recently noticed that when setting sRGB images as the desktop image, and having the desktop icons active (gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true) that there is a strange dimming effect, so I turn my machine on, log on, and then I see my image normally for a few seconds, then suddenly it is dimmed and stays like that, there are only a few seconds on login that I can then see it normally for. But I find that if I set desktop icons to inactive (gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false) that the problem goes away until I reactivate them, in which case the immediate moment that I turn them back on in the settings the desktop image dims. I initially filed a bug report on this issue here, but though I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1495479 --- OS Information: No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 15.10 Release: 15.10 Codename: wily Flavour: GNOME GNOME Version: 3.18
I am unable to reproduce this issue on Arch Linux with GNOME 3.24.2.
