Obviously, I can’t create the entire universe by my own, adding features in the way I see fit depends also on what others create. In this case, the app won’t be cross-platform, and users will complain when it doesn’t work properly on their distro. So I don’t see the issue with me complaining a bit as well.

I am not mad at the Wayland devs, it’s just unfortunate.

Activity watch

So, as far as I understand, this works with gtk3, which will still work with Xwayland, but will eventually be phased out? Anyway, I think I will just use gtk4 layer shell and hope it supports all compositors eventually

Window positioning under Wayland

It is a design decision to have it implemented by each compositor. which means each one will implement it differently. Currently, the gtk4 layer shell supports some, like sway and hyperland, but not others, like gnome

I meant as in keep the always on the bottom/background (or at least move it to the back on launch). I tried gtk4-layer-shell, but unfortunately, it doesn’t support some desktop environments (like GNOME).

Why so salty? I am making an app that I want to stick on the background, and would like it to be cross-platform. I mean, there should be some way to achieve something this basic right? Also, Wayland is going to become the default, and most distros will switch to it.
