I want to like, block interaction with a window that I am keeping on top of other windows so I can see it but still click to stuff behind it.
It turns out mpv already has this implemented. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/8949
Technically no windows or mac support (presumably it’s possible there; dunno), but OP only asked for linux stuff so I’ll close this
And then I could remove the title bar if I really don’t want to interact with the app.
Your window needs to get the list of all other windows, find the one directly below it, and send a mouse click programmatically, using something like accessibility API.
Are you writing a keylogger?i thought there was a way to do it in kde window settings
different approach: if you see mixed content of two windows, it doesn’t really matter which one is on top.
if you have many stacked, it’s a different thing. maybe you could use nested wayland sessions to group all other windows into one, then you’re dealing with only two again and can have the group on top.
I actually tried this right after I made this post, and it was not where near as smooth as I wanted. KDE would put the window that I had assigned to all desktops on top, whenever I would switch virtual desktops.
I found a solution though, it looks like mpv has support.
