Navigation: Why is not the bottomSheet() {} navigation implemented the same way as the dialog {} one -> i.e. via the Window API?

It is just a wrapper around Compose's ModalBottomSheetLayout, just like how dialog is a wrapper around Compose's Dialog

[Ian Lake]

If the Compose's technique for showing bottom sheets changed, then Navigation would just be a wrapper in whatever that new method was

[Ian Lake]

FWIW, all the bottom sheet APIs are still experimental, so if you want them changed, now would be the time to make your case by filing issues against Compose itself

Thanks! Just starting to play with it, no strong opinions yet. I think there is an issue with the overlay over the status bar when the don't draw underneath, this is nicely handled by the own window in dialog.

Nothing in Compose is aware of window insets - you'll want to use Accompanist Insets to control how you interact with those: https://google.github.io/accompanist/insets/
