Hey there! Would it be possible to show menus like this on Compose Desktop?

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

There's just a bit of such tray apps available at https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/tutorials/Tray_Notifications_MenuBar_new

Also, sky is your limit with canvas api

I think compositing with background windows might be the limit... (I'll leave now)

[Chris Sinco [G]]

I also think there’s a limit on the container itself where you can either render menu items in a native menu, or show things in a dialog/window. But a frameless window like that and exhibited by JetBrains Toolbox is still custom.

[Spikey Sanju]

In that case will be it possible to keep the window active when I’m working on another app?

[Kirill Grouchnikov]

Do you have a more concrete example, like a screenshot of what you're trying to achieve

speaking of the limit, are there any plans to support translucent/transparent windows? For comparision, there are some plugins for flutter to do this

[SrSouza]

flutter_acrylic is very cool, I don't know if the currently Skiko and Compose Desktop api extend in this way to support something like this as a third party library.

[xxfast]

yeah it sounds doable but seems to come with a great cost

I thought I tried a transparent window early in my tutorial playing.
A Transparent .modifier option?
