Issue

Transparency is not changing when application is maximised or not. Changes in transparency only take place when I switch between workspaces.

Steps to reproduce

  1. In workspace 1, maximise an application. The panel is not transparent as expected.
  2. Switch to workspace 2.
  3. Switch back to workspace 1. The panel is now solid colour.
  4. Unmaximise the application. The panel will remain solid colour, and not become transparent as expected.
  5. Switch to workspace 2.
  6. Switch back to workspace 1. The panel is now transparent.

Expected behaviour

Panel should update transparency at the moment an application changes its maximisation state and not only when switching workspaces.

Other information

Here is a video showing the steps above. There are some graphical glitches in the video but this is due to the capture software used, I do not see any of these glitches when using my system.

Just as extra information, the extension works exactly as intended in my other computer which is running Linux Mint 18.3 (and Cinnamon version 3.6.7).

Sorry, I no longer have Cinnamon installed in my computer. I can't maintain this extension anymore unless I switch back to Cinnamon in the future.

Hi, thanks for the reply. That's a pity but of course totally understandable.
