Description
This PR introduces a
:passthroughproperty for Wayland windows, allowing pointer events (like mouse clicks) to pass through the regions of an Eww widget to the applications underneath.Why? This let me set up Eww window as notify, remider, etc to "flash" my screen, but still let me click pass them, maintain my work flow. Idk!
Implementation details:
passthroughboolean to theWlBackendWindowOptionsand the Yuck parser.crates/eww/src/display_backend.rsfor theplatform_waylandmodule.connect_mapsignal (to ensure GTK has finished its internal geometry calculations) to fetch the underlyinggdk::Window.gtk::cairo::Regionusinginput_shape_combine_regionto tell the Wayland compositor the window has no clickable pixels.Usage
Set
:passthrough truein your window definition.Note: For the property to work, you must also set
:focusable "none".Showcase
I can still click the files below this Text widget
