@Lucki can you double-check these commits here before I create the release? :)

I haven't tried it yet. I fear that after a new login the zoom mode will change - I report later on that.

Edit: Yes, as I suspected, it doesn't work.

Other than that, there's the now duplicated reset function. Do we need that extra safety, is the function provided by GJS not enough?

And other than that that: 👍

Sorry, this doesn't work. This resets the background zoom option always back to zoom on logout/reboot/suspend.

Hm, right. I didn't think about that. 🤦‍♂️

With these insights, I gravitate back to the idea of directly hooking into the system settings instead of having a copy in the extension settings. In the end, Gnome extensions aren't really external programs but rather mutations of the DE, so it is somewhat reasonable to alter the settings directly. We already do this anyway with the wallpaper path itself.

Advantages:

• No mapping between the two settings is required, thus less room for error.
• Easier to display and change the current state in the extension settings.

Disadvantage:

• The spanned state will be displayed in the settings when it is activated by the manager (could be seen as an advantage in terms of transparency)

I also see this disadvantage:

• Turning off multi-monitor requires setting two steps: Turning the option itself off and also setting the zoom mode to something different from spanned. This could be done automatically, but then we're defining a default again, which might be insufficient. I don't know how often that happens though.

Hmm, you are right, but I think this is a reasonable trade-off. I'll give it a try and test if it works for us. If not, I'll just revert my problematic changes.

@Lucki I finally got around to giving this another quick try. If you still see some fundamental issues, then I'll just revert my stuff for creating a release, but I think this should be reasonable now. 😅
Can you give it a try with your multi-monitor setup?

Also, I renamed the "Zoom Mode" to "Scaling Mode" as I think this is more fitting.

Gave it a quick test and it seems to work.
