Hi @lomirus
Thanks for reporting. I can confirm the issue. It looks like the Dbus API of Gnome Shell broke due to the update. (It worked fine so far.) This probably will affect the maximized window detection.

(Sadly I'm busy at the moment, the fix might be late.)

Apparently, GNOME shell restricted the Dbus API call...

Workaround might be needed. Close for now because nothing I can do to fix it atm.

For Gnome Wayland, you can try the below command in looking glass (Alt+F2, input lg):

global.context.unsafe_mode = true

It allows external programs to access the gnome DBus API (previous behavior)

This does work if you do it and then open Hidamari. Is there a way to make this command permanent so it doesn't have to be done on each reboot?
