How can I make

TopAppBar

consume

Window Inset

? Doing:

TopAppBar(
    modifier = Modifier.fillMaxWidth()
        .statusBarsPadding()
        .wrapContentHeight(),
...

just result in something like this where the added padding is just white and not the TopAppbar Color.

I encountered the same problem. I wrote a slightly modified version of AppBar which propagates the modifier to the AppBar Content (a Row) instead of the surface. That fixed the problem for me. I don't know if there is a better solution though. You can find it here: https://github.com/Sh4dowSoul/Compose-Scrobbler/commit/31eb88edde860c4d6e74f0cf3440b701673197c8

Thats exactly what i though of doing as well.. but i was thinking whether this behavior was intended... or is it a “bug”

Yeah, I'm wondering about that as well

Hi @Adam Powell, is it possible to know if this was an expected behavior or is it something that will be changed in the future?

It's nonstandard to apply a modifier parameter to an inner element, but that's a standard, not a compiler-enforced rule. 🙂 Our library components are unlikely to be changed to work that way

Great, thanks for the info. It would be really nice to have the standard components handling the insets out of the box.

Alright thank you very much!
