Description Firlaev-Hans 2022-05-19 15:18:44 UTC 
SUMMARY
Basically, what the title says.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the accent color to "From current wallpaper"
2. Enter "Show Desktop" mode (Meta+D) to hide all windows
3. Change the wallpaper so that the accent color changes

OBSERVED RESULT
While still in "Show Desktop" mode, all open but currently hidden windows briefly pop up with their old colors and then fade away.

EXPECTED RESULT
Windows that are not currently shown should be ignored by the blend effect. However, the desktop settings window may be visible even during show desktop mode, so not all windows can be ignored.
