Feature Description
(using the latest DMS release v1.4.6)
An option to force a specific rendering z-index for desktop widgets
Use Case
I have a clock widget and Dank Audio Visualizer placed at the same position within the desktop. It looks like the order in which is drawn on top is determined at random every time the shell is initialized which requires user intervention to reposition them accordingly.
How I have them set up in my Settings:
How one would expect them to be rendered (clock is rendered in front of audio visualizer):
How it renders at times after relogging/reboot (visualizer is in front of the clock):
Compositor(s)
Niri
Proposed Solution
Desktop widgets should either have an option to set their rendering z-index, or be drawn according to the order they are added (loaded) in the Desktop Widgets menu.
