Re: Help needed developing a FolderView extension

[Iñigo Serna <inigoserna gmail com>]

Hi again,

I'm gonna answer myself.

Regarding first issue (extension doesn't got css style), I've found
out it's due a known bug in gnome-shell, already fixed in v3.1.3:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=650971

But I'm stopped at the second problem:
how can I make the extension shown on desktop background to be behind
any other window?
I've tried "actor.lower_bottom()" but it doesn't work... any tip?

Btw, updated code is in
https://inigo.katxi.org/misc/tmp/folderview%40katxi.org.tar.gz

Thanks,
Iñigo Serna
