Hi, I need some advice on how to migrate some code made with the 0.4.x and below Window API to the new API. I have a custom clickable modifier that takes a click event, gets the x and the y of the click event inside the window, and compares it to the LocalAppWindow.current width and height so that it gives me a % value of where it was clicked. I cant find a good way to do this in the new Window Api, as LocalAppWindow was deprecated.

Replacement of LocalAppWindow.current is window which you can access inside Window function or inside any other function if you pass WindowScope there:

Window {
   Box(...clickable { window.width }
   foo()
}

@Composable
fun WindowScope.foo() {
   Box(...clickable { window.width }
}

Is there some kind of way I can get that when I am deep in a function tree? Or should I make a CompositonLocal of it myself

[Igor Demin]

Yes, you can make your own composition local, there is no built-in one in the new API
