Dash to Dock incomplete blur and wrong colors at startup

[thvlio]

After enabling the Dash to Dock integration, the dock on one of my screens is only partially blurred:

The issue can be temporarily fixed by turning the extension (or the integration option) off on on again. Then the blurring is corrected:

I use two monitors with the following setup:

And this only happens on (2). The dock on (1) always behaves as expected. One way to quickly reproduce the issue on my system is to switch which monitor is primary. The bug still only happens on (2) regardless of the primary monitor, but going back and forth just does something to GNOME and the bug reappears. It also happens after rebooting or just logging out then back in.

Also, when the dock blur is bugged, the colors on the dock are actually matching the colors on the panel (which is also bugged as per #503). If it helps, I took screenshots of both screens. This is when (2) is primary (my usual layout):

And this is when (1) is primary:

I have the exact same issue (with the same monitor setup) on a fresh installation of Fedora 40 (GNOME Shell 46.2, Blur my Shell 62, Dash to Dock 92).

Things I've tried (resetting Blur my Shell to default settings, logging out/in, etc. in between):

• Disabling all other extensions: top panel is still only partially blurred, no dock to speak of because it's disabled
• Each different hack level
• Switching from native gaussian blur to regular gaussian blur for each pipeline
• Disabling/enabling various settings (can't remember them all) like whether or not to show the overview on startup

Working manual fixes:

• Disabling then enabling Blur my Shell via Extension Manager
• Ditto, via command line (gnome-extensions disable blur-my-shell@aunetx; gnome-extensions enable blur-my-shell@aunetx)

I also tried making a script with the above commands and executing it on login with a ~/.config/autostart/RestartBlurMyShell.desktop file, in which case the top panel is fixed, but not the dock (Dash to Dock).

Maybe some parts of the blurring are getting executed too soon? Unfortunately I know very little about GNOME/extensions/GUI stuff in general, otherwise I'd try to help out and track this down myself.

p.s. Thanks for making this extension! It's a must have for me on all my machines.

Same issue here, dual monitor setup, fedora 40, blur my shell 67, dash to dock 96.

When I login to my computer, blur my shell is enabled before dash to dock. When I force blur my shell to start after dash to dock (eg. by adding an artificial delay to blur my shell's enable() function) then this issue does not occur. Switching to dynamic blur and then back to static also fixes the issue.

Blur my shell seems to stay active on the lock screen, while dash to dock is disabled, and enabled again on unlocking. This explains why this issue occurs when logging out and back in.

This could be related to #653, although the incomplete portion of my dock covers the left half and not the top half.
It could also be related to #276 as both bugs appear under the same circumstances.

I have a similar issue but in my case the top bar is fine but dash to dock has no blur at all on startup. Only after disabling blur-my-shell and enabling it again it is fixed. Using triple monitor setup (2 1080p monitors and 1 1440p primary monitor)

Startup:

Disable and Enable:
