Ubuntu Unity with Compiz Fusion / CompizConfig Settings Manager - (always) Above ie ontop other apps

Lets see what they come up with, as seems I've read Firefox PiP does this as well, and someone created the Gnome plugin for it, so if so, then that code could be ported into Unity, and that could possibly solve the problem, especially if Unity switches over to Wayland soon, that would solve massive issues anyway. But it could show up anything else in other devs apps, as Discover Overly works fine as should as a Flatpak, so they must have done something right.

I have posted in the Unity Discord as well after your post, stating all this as well.

Firefox PiP didn't work with a Snap or Flatpak APP, but 'Discover Overlay' does, and I am completely baffled as why that would as a Flatpak APP and why Firefox PiP wouldn't other than reading someone else said the same thing with Firefox and there's a Gnome plugin for it that will even allow it to work with Wayland, and Overlayed doesn't work with Wayland even on Gnome. 🤔 IF we can get to the bottom of this I am sure this would help so many devs out across the board.

Just a question, why not create a Flatpak APP of Overlayed and get it listed on Flathub instead? You will get way more users on Linux that way as it's universal across all Linux desktops and distributions.

Also the dev should test on Ubuntu Unity and maybe they will figure out the problem, and not Arch, which is not the Desktop in quesetion, which is a little bit of an odd thing to have done, defeats the object.

OK so I had another look, and when I run Overlayed, obviously on my system it goes to the background, if I alt+tab into the app it's supposed to be over ie a terminal, and then onto Overlayed that works OK, but if I tab into Desktop, then overlayed disapears completely, have to quit and restart Overlayed to make it work properly. As per them saying it probably happens with other none Tauri apps on Unity it doesn't, and 'Discover Overlayed' works fine and that is a Flatpak APP, and all other apps are fine, so it must be another problem, I would think Tauri since Flatpak and Snap apps are fine, and QT apps.

Also they've tested it with Arch when obviously it's stated Ubuntu Unity which is an odd thing to have tested it with

Flatpak APPS are the way forwards, they can even run on Windows 11 with a bit of tweaking. So in future that would be the best way to run any APP's imo.

I've been using Linux 17 years and Gnome is awful, never works with Compiz Fusion.

@Hacksore Just wondering if this ' ✘ rsvg2: not installed' not being installed would cause this issue before posting it on Github?
