PanelWindow doesn't change layers #281
Description
WlrLayershell.layer and aboveWindows properties don't seem to change layers when set. I expect these properties to put the panel below other windows, but it doesn't happen.
I also use mako for notifications, and it is correctly displayed on different layers, like Bottom or Overlay.
Example config:
import Quickshell import Quickshell.Wayland import QtQuick PanelWindow { SystemClock { id: clock precision: SystemClock.Seconds } anchors { top: true left: true right: true } implicitHeight: 32 Row { spacing: 10 Text { text: Qt.formatDateTime(clock.date, "hh:mm:ss - yyyy-MM-dd") } Text { text: "Second text" } } WlrLayershell.layer: WlrLayer.Bottom // or this: // aboveWindows: false }Screenshot:
You can see that quickshell is located under waybar and moves other windows down instead of being placed below them
