Support for Gnome 47

[AngelSherry]

Description

Gnome 47 has released, please consider to add support for 47. I add "47" to metadata.json manually, but it doesn't seem to work. The extension won't render anything and no obvious errors are shown on Extension Manager.

OS and Shell Information

• OS: Arch Linux
• GNOME Shell: 47.0
• Session type: Wayland

@AngelSherry Thanks for reporting issue =)
I tried with Fedora 41 beta (that comes with GNOME 47) on a VM, and I got it working by simply bumping the shell version in metadata.json as you already did. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you, but I will try it on a real machine next to see if anything needs fixing.

Meanwhile, I had created a branch specifically for GNOME 47. Any fixes for the latest version will be committed to that branch before it gets merged into the master. Those who want to be early testers:

git clone https://github.com/jeffshee/gnome-ext-hanabi.git -b gnome-47

OK, I know what is going on. It seems the upgrade of GRK 4.16 has a bug. Changing the backend of render from openGL to Vulkan will make everything that depending on render crashing on hybrid graphics, which is also including gnome-ext-hanabi. This is an upstream bug of GTK 4 and waiting to be merged.

Adding GSK_RENDERER=ngl to ~/.config/environment.d/gsk.conf will fix the issue. Then gnome-ext-hanabi won't be crashed anymore on Gnome 47 after switching to the branch of gnome-47 of gnome-ext-hanabi .

But sometimes gnome-ext-hanabi will pause video automatically on Gnome 47 without any maximized window. It doen't happen on Gnome 46. And I haven't change any setting of gnome-ext-hanabi.

There is the video about the bug of pausing video automatically on random. I can let the video play again by reactivating gnome-ext-hanabi.

there are very big performance issues on Fedora 41 even while using clapper (AMD), the cpu spikes a lot and also sometimes a memory leak occurs, causing to use all of dedicated ram

hey does anyone know how to implement the GSK_Render=ngl fix on ubuntu 24.10?

Adding GSK_RENDERER=ngl to ~/.config/environment.d/gsk.conf should work for Ubuntu 24.10, too.

After NVIDIA driver was updated to 565.57.01, the workaround is no longer needed on Gnome 47. For others whose distribution hasn't updated NVIDIA driver to 565.57.01 might still need this workaround. You could merge Gnome 47 support to mainline. @jeffshee

Hi @AngelSherry, thanks for reporting back, it helped a lot!
I will merge it to the main branch and remove the experimental status after some testing on my system as well ^^
