Transparent feature issue

I am using Zorin OS Core and need help configuring my taskbar. Whenever I open an app (like Brave Browser) and hover my mouse over the taskbar icon, it pops up a transparent preview window. This preview window displays media controls, a pause/play button, and a video playback timeline for background apps.

Hello,
Could you provide a screenshot ?

Go in the Tasbar Settings an there to the ''Behavior'' Tab. There are 2 Toggles, You can disable:

1 Like

This didnt help actually


could you see some like pause and play and other things except the recording option

It's look like Youtube control, does it happen only with brave ?
did you try to disable all your brave extensions ?

No both chrome+brave and also many other apps

and you didn't install an app for youtube ?

yes yes

This in the Background of the Taskbar looks for me more like the actual Options from Youttube in Full-Screen Mode. Do You have in the Taskbar Settings the Autohide Option active (that the Taskbar disappears)?

Also: Did You tried to disable the Zorin Taskbar and then enable it again?

I am not getting it.Actually i am facing this a way longer like since 4 months

try this
in terminal

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

if uou are in Wayland switch to Xorg:

  • Logout
  • At the login screen, click your username (don't enter password)
  • Click the gear icon in the bottom right
  • Select "Zorin Desktop on Xorg"
  • Log in

Already switched to xorg here is my specifications

OK and you say it happen with many apps, what apps ?

This issue happens with Brave and Chrome. Whenever I watch YouTube video in full screen and then switch to another app, I see this problem with the taskbar

and you don't have any extension in brave and chrome ?
or a gnome extension (I see you have some) ?

I have many extensions in chrome+brave

the disable them all and try (in chrome and brave)

But i have an issue if i disable them my weak cpu cannot handle the video load and also some extensions are there for my personal work

I said disable, not remove ! and of course if you have video extension it could be this !
