Description Ben Beasley 2025-03-08 12:50:09 UTC
The titlebar flickers and/or is transparent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open AppEditor.
2. Observe that the titlebar flickers and/or is transparent.
3. Observe that the program is nevertheless usable.
Actual Results:  
The titlebar flickers and/or is transparent.

Expected Results:  
The titlebar is opaque and free of glitches.

At one point, applying https://github.com/donadigo/appeditor/pull/139 as a patch was sufficient to fix this, but as of at least Fedora 41, this no longer helps.

Forcing Elementary styles as in https://github.com/donadigo/appeditor/pull/123 might or might not work, but it would require reviving and updating the retired https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/elementary-theme package, which I’m not willing to take on just for the sake of this bug.

Further discussion appears in https://github.com/donadigo/appeditor/pull/139#issuecomment-2708215462.

See also https://github.com/donadigo/appeditor/issues/53 and https://github.com/donadigo/appeditor/issues/103.

I don’t currently have a concrete plan to fix this, but per https://github.com/donadigo/appeditor/pull/139#issuecomment-2708225566 there are still a nonzero number of people who value the RPM-packaged version of this, so I’ll keep the package around for now.
