Hi, Then I guess you could try making the panels have properties, and use either the same layer as pop-us (UI) or have another of your own above fullscreen one. You'll (just) need to convey to the compositor when to show them and when to hide them, pretty much same as activate/de-activate request we have for the pop-up. Adding/removing views from layers effectively shows/hides the current one. Obviously, you'll need to amend the protocol and use a different layer (using the properties I mentioned above) when adding the panels. It should also work for regular cases, where applications are maximized, panel is removed, application is now fullscreen, panel is activated and application resumes back to being maximized. You could probably get away with it much faster if you were to hack the compositor directly, but you still need some way to tell the compositor when to show/hide them, presumably when doing some (input) gestures. > > On Wed, 2 Dec 2020, 15:27 Marius Vlad, <marius.vlad@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > > On Wed, Dec 02, 2020 at 02:29:58PM +0330, Farshid Monhaseri wrote: > > > Hi Marius, > > Hi Farshid, > > > I have a question about the capability of AGL-Compositor, first I want to > > > post a bug/feature in AGL Jira, but then I decided to ask you first then > > > step further. > > > I have senario, like this: I have top-bar which is in panel layers, then > > I > > > have a fullscreen app. In some cases I want show the topbar(make it > > > visible) but without scaling down the app (change layers to normal).
