Everything in the screenlets worked fine in my Ubuntu 17.10

However after upgrading to 18.04 not only do some screenlets (like the clock) appear to be a lot blurred than before but I cannot move any of the screenlets manually by clicking and dragging my mouse.

Is it because I accidentally removed one of the many libraries which the Software Updater suggested me were no longer needed during the distribution upgrade or is it some problem with the display of 18.04 and its compatibility with the screenlets app?

In any case is there a solution? Because I really want to be able to use a functional clock screenlet in 18.04.

bash script to install screenlets in 18.04.x x64 Bionic

Note: Only for clean installation. Not tested on upgrades from previous versions to 18.04

To Run (without sudo):

~$ chmod +x ./screenlets.sh && ./screenlets.sh

Content of script:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Screenlets Setup. Wait..."

function screenlets(){

  clear

  sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/screenlets*

  # Dependencies

  sudo apt -y install software-properties-common

  sudo dpkg -l python-wnck

  if [ $? == 0 ]; then

    echo "OK"

  else

    sudo apt -y install libwnck22

    wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-python-desktop/python-wnck_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb

    sudo dpkg -i python-wnck_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb

    sudo apt --fix-broken -y install

  fi

  sudo dpkg -l python-gnomekeyring

  if [ $? == 0 ]; then

    echo "OK"

  else

    wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gnome-python-desktop/python-gnomekeyring_2.32.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb

  # Screenlets Setup

  sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:screenlets/ppa

  sudo sed -i 's/bionic/xenial/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/screenlets-ubuntu-ppa-bionic.list

  sudo apt update

  sudo apt -y install screenlets screenlets-pack-all

  sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/screenlets*

sudo apt -y purge python-wnck python-gnomekeyring libwnck22 screenlets screenlets-pack-all && sudo apt -y autoremove && sudo rm -rf /etc/apt/sources.list.d/screenlets* ~/.config/autostart/screenlets-daemon.desktop
