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.

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

[Niklas Schnettler]

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?

[Adam Powell]

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

[Adam Powell]

But the standard components may be changed in the future to account for the insets in general.

[Niklas Schnettler]

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!
