Background layer does not work under Sway #140

Closed RossComputerGuy closed 1 year ago

RossComputerGuy commented 1 year ago

When using the background layer in my code, the window never render but if I use the bottom layer then it does but renders above other windows. This is my Vala code and I am unsure what I am doing wrong or if this is a bug. The demo works fine with using the background layer so this is a strange bug.

Probably rendering behind your wallpaper. Try killing swaybg

RossComputerGuy commented 1 year ago

Sweet, that worked. Not sure why the demo worked but not my code without killing swaybg.

Now, I might need help with the panel window code. I can't use any windows, may be because of the margins. If I set the bottom margin to this.monitor.mode.height - 5 then Sway crashes. Also, the background doesn't render behind the panel.

Edit: input is working now, just need to get the wallpaper to render behind the panel. This is currently how it looks: image

Sorry for the off-topic:

If you manage to actually crash sway with a layer-shell application using margins an issue at https://github.com/swaywm/sway would be nice.

this.monitor.mode.height - 5 is 1440 - 5 on my system.
