The similar issue has been reported in Discord but I can not reproduce it. Could you try to set things up from scratch - close xfce, move |
|
Is there any output in termux while changing wallpaper? |
|
@Biswa96 there is still a shadow between the panel and the wallpaper, and the wallpaper does not change. And while changing the wallpaper, Termux does not display anything separately. |

Correction: That was not an issue in my setup. I just did not double click it. So, I have not yet able to reproduce the issue. |
|
@Biswa96 And the https://github.com/termux/termux-x11/actions/runs/12447846023 |

I can reproduce it as well. Here's termux-info output from my device if it proves useful: |
|
Temporary fix until issue resolved properly here ... script will list available wallpapers allowing you to choose the one you want then apply it. You do need to restart termux for it to take affect. |
|
@hansm629 except for the panel's shadow, it's a feature, not a bug. |
|
@ar37-rs When the shadow appeared like that, it would disappear when you restarted xfce4, but now it doesn't at all. |
The bug was the shadow under docks disappearing ... sounds like the bug is resolved if it's staying this time. Go into compositor tab in window manager tweaks to remove shadows under dock windows if you want it gone. [EDIT] Can confirm, that particular bug seems resolved and shadows under dock windows is persistent between restarts now. I guess the trade off was losing ability to change wallpaper easily. |
|
@phoenixbyrd Which menu do I go into to turn off the shadows? |
|
@hansm629 |
Yea that's the one. |
|
@phoenixbyrd @FlipnotypicalRodent32 I just need to fix the issue of not being able to change the wallpaper! |
Previous xfce version wasn't displaying the shadow properly or consistently ... personally I disabled it so never bothered me. |
I’m glad we helped you! |
Until they update with a proper fix for the wallpaper issue you can always use the script posted earlier to get the job done. |
hansm629
changed the title
It does work for "custom" wallpapers, just make sure the wallpaper you want to use is moved to $PREFIX/usr/share/backgrounds/xfce first. Or if you have a different location just change it to that in the script to list the wallpapers you want to use. |
Oh, ok. |
|
heres the logs i got while restarting xfdesktop in debug mode maybe it would help |
|
for changing backgrounds |

@Biswa96 should i make pr? not sure if it works for everyone/have any side effects tho |

Thank you for your thorough analysis of this issue. I am not sure about the change and shall ask about the issue in xfce community channels. In the meantime, please feel free to create a pull request for testing purposes. I would like to confirm this matter with the upstream developers as well. |

probably a bug of termux-x11, I'll take a look soon. |
alright then. |
|
I can reproduce it only in the case if you start termux-x11 with Termux:X11's activity not running in background or foreground. Did you switch to Termux:X11 before checking screen name and refresh rate? |

Try this one. Does it happen with this build? |

And it seems like you need to charge your device. |
still happening, but as usual the frame rate returned to the desired one after one screen resize |

The fix is merged to master. |

I'm affected too, but the only relevant log message appears to be this: |
