Is there a way to do some kind of absolute positioning? I’d like to draw content over other content conditionally, but I could use some tips on how to do so

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

Do you have a more specific scenario in mind? Like a screenshot or a design mock?

[krzysztof]

No design/screenshot, sorry. I try to create a fullscreen overlay to:
• hide the content behind (being partially visible, due to alpha applied)
• Disable any clickable content when content is hidden
Something like this:

ScrollableColumn() {
        Section()
        Section()
        Section()
        if(something) {
            FullscreenOverlay()
        }
    }

[krzysztof]

Example of such overlay could be a fullscreen loading indicator (which blocks any interactions while it’s visible)

I've been using Box to put a loading indicator over the rest of the UI.

But I don't know if that's the best way.
