Short Summary

On MacOS the Kando settings window is forced above everything else in the systems UI. This means I can't access the menubar dropdowns, or the menu items, or my application launcher (Alfred), while the setting window is open.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Open the Kando settings editor
  2. Click on one of your menubar icons
  3. Notice its dropdown content is obscured by Kando's setting window

Kando Version

1

Installation Method

Via a portable zip archive downloaded from a release on GitHub

Desktop Environment

macOS

Environment Version

macOS 14.2.1 (23C71)

Additional Information

I understand Kando needs privileged Z ordering for the Kando menu itself, but it would be better if the settings editor was just a normal window.

Hi there! Yeah, that's not macOS specific. Originally, this was by design. However, I see that this is not that great under various circumstances. Especially if you have a large monitor.

Yet changing this would require a lot of work. But it should be doable...
