def create_webview():
    return webview.create_window(
        title="ValoKit",
        url="http://localhost:8900/index.html",
        vibrancy=True,
        hidden=True,
        on_top=True,
        frameless=True
    )

how is it possible that pywebview can make it so that the application can receive mouse clicks but cannot be focused???
I looked at their Github which had the following code to handle this. Looking at the code I replicated the same thing using the ctypes library but I could not make it so that the window is unfocusable.

if not window.focus:
                win32gui.SetWindowLong(self.Handle.ToInt32(), win32con.GWL_EXSTYLE, win32gui.GetWindowLong(self.Handle.ToInt32(), win32con.GWL_EXSTYLE) | win32con.WS_EX_NOACTIVATE)

def on_activated(self, sender, args):
            if not self.pywebview_window.focus:
                win32gui.SetWindowLong(self.Handle.ToInt32(), win32con.GWL_EXSTYLE, win32gui.GetWindowLong(self.Handle.ToInt32(), win32con.GWL_EXSTYLE) | win32con.WS_EX_NOACTIVATE)
            
            if self.browser:
                self.browser.web_view.Focus()

            if is_cef:
                CEF.focus(self.uid)
