Description:
- After running yay -Suy and rebooting the machine the background went white and there is no way to change the background color again. All application windows are working but as mentioned, the background is plain white. The same has just happened on a second machine where I did upgrade to the same "latest" version of all packages.

Additional info:
* package version(s),
refer to attached pacman log file, pacman -Qe
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:
* run yay -Suy as today 2021-04-18 23:55 (Stockholm local time)

Even if I try to select an image through the dialog, it will still be plain white.

The issue is with gnome-shell. Downgrading it fixes the issue:

[2021-04-19T00:17:09+0200] [ALPM] downgraded gnome-shell (1:40.0+39+gd9e953e93-1 -> 1:40.0-1)

An update of "gjs" that arrived this morning fixed the issue.
A reboot was required as well.
Thanks for getting back to me.

Great to hear that it's fixed and works now. Note to the package maintainers: If an upgrade of gjs fixed the issue, then it sounds plausible that the dependency list of gnome-shell should be updated to include that information.
