Corners drawn on top of the dash-to-panel panel

[amivaleo]

Hi!

I use dash-to-panel extension.
Yours draws the rounded corners on top of the panel drawn by dash-to-panel.

Take a look:

Can you consider working on this? Thank you! :)

So... :3

Still an issue :/

I'm sorry, I'm really out of time (and of motivation...) right now, but when I have my computer with me I will try to see what is wrong :)

Hey, don't apologize, it's perfectly understandable! Don't feel bad for not having the time and motivation to work on libre software projects. I've been there, and the feeling hurts. But don't force yourself, and if anyone comes after you, don't let them bring you down. Your mental health comes first <3

Hello again, could you just explain me this issue more? What exactly is wrong with the extension?

To be honest, it does not work for me either with dash to panel -- but it is because the corners are drawn on top of dtp, but simply that they are not drawn at all. So I just need to know what may be wrong to correct it if possible

Hi.
The corners are drawn actually, but they are black just like the panel, that's why you might have not seen them.

This is why I put a screenshot here, of the top-right corner. There I drawn the panel in red in dtp. As you can see, the black corner is drawn on top of the panel.

Do you have the screen corners option activated in my extension's preferences? Because it looks like it is this, if I'm not mistaken

[amivaleo]

I think I have, yes.
But I can't confirm now. I'm on vacation. I'll tell you when I get back at the end of this month. 💪

Looking deeper into this and thinking more critically about it, I believe the screen corners function is working as intended. The problem is actually the panel corners function, which does not consider DTP as a panel. In the following screenshots, I've configured screen corners to red, and panel corners to blue.

It looks like screen corners are drawn on all 4 corners, ignoring the panel entirely. The corners below the panel are drawn separately, attached to the panel itself. This is probably how it should continue working.

When DTP is enabled, the panel corners simply disappear. They are not hidden behind the screen corners, they are simply not there. I believe this is because DTP has hidden the original GNOME panel entirely, and because the panel corners are attached to that panel, they are hidden as well.

The fix may simply be to detect if DTP is enabled, and attach to it instead. However, I'm unfamiliar with how all of the related code works, so this might be more complex to implement properly than I think. Also, panel position, panel size, and auto-hide may all be factors. And these can all vary for each monitor. It may be worth allowing panel corners to be disabled per-monitor as well. I have a stationary full-width panel on the bottom of one monitor, and an autohiding 92% wide one on the left of the other. I would want corners on the first panel, but having corners on the second would be weird. (then again, so is my panel layout (and my monitor layout (and me))

Also, to be clear, I made sure I was using the new update before trying all of this :)
