Widgets still active on lock screen

When the computer goes into lock screen, there are some flickering where the widgets are placed.

I can confirm the same issue to be plaguing my current setup as well.

My Setup :

#	Details
OS	Fedora37 (Workstation) x86_64	Kernel : 6.1.5-200.fc37
Display	WM : Mutter (3840x2160)	DE : Gnome 43.2

External display ran using GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q

Issue : LockScreen (running via GDM) shows artifacts and reminiscent looks of enabled extension components, especially in this case that being the desktop-clock.

User Screen	Password Prompt	Post-Unlock

Remedy : At present disabling the extension gets things back to normal, leading to conclusion it is not a conflict between shell theme and/or other installed extensions.

• List of extension present along side this one : HERE

to: @Aylur : Thankyou for maintaining this awesome utility and I would be more than willing to submit further needed inputs to fix the same.

Thanks for this detailed report. I can't seem to replicate this issue though. Are you on Wayland or Xorg?
I will take you up on the offer, could you go through and disable/enable parts of the extension and narrow down the cause? e.g if you disable everything except the desktop clock does the issue still presists?

I am running under xorg display server.
I will certainly try disabling clock and other parts to see if it fixes something.

Edit:

• To replicate the issue and confirm if it is the background clock tweak
  • I first disabled the tweak
    • Result : The issue was completely disabled, no more artifacts on lockscreen.
  • Next, I tried setting clock positions to various available positions.
    • Result : The artifacts followed the clock apart from affecting the lockscreen elements like user password prompt and the user switch buttom at the bottom right.

Did a new install in another computer, Ryzen 5 3600X with RX-580 graphics card. The glitches still happen albeit less often, mostly when the clock is updated (minute change). Happens more often on my laptop with integrated graphics (ThinkPad T-480 i5 7200U Intel HD Graphics 620)

Happens both on Wayland and Xorg.

I am having the same issue as the author; however, the issue is present ONLY when the 'Background Clock' is enabled.
Fedora 37 server (6.1.11-200.fc37.x86_64) if that helps.
