tooltip, selector menu esque floating window in linux

[ocean sky]

how do i make a bevy window that floats over the window that works in linux-hyprland like the appended image?

can you change the part you want on top of the rest of the ui as having position_type of PositionType::Absolute ? https://docs.rs/bevy_ui/latest/bevy_ui/struct.Node.html

Unfortunately, the main window is supposed to be smaller. so that won't work 😦

[hoary bear]

oh sorry i misread

[hoary bear]

you want the dropdown to be a separate window? bevy has a window api https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/window/index.html

Yea, that's kind of the problem. Whatever I do, hyprland treats the popup window as a regular window

[hoary bear]

have you tried to change the window level to be always on top
https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/window/enum.WindowLevel.html

what is the problem with the current popup window?

[ocean sky]

I'll try that

It didn't work

I'll try windowPosition

[hoary bear]

was the window redrawn after you changed window level?

have you enabled bevy's native wayland by including the "wayland" feature?

[ocean sky]

yup

but it didnt redraw

[hoary bear]

sorry but i don't know how to help here

my only idea is to maybe see if you can interact with the hyprland api to make it do what is needed
