Xwayland has a lot of bugs with transparent always-on-top windows.

You'll get weird stuff like the 'click''s that are supposed to go through it will in fact go through multiple windows down to the next xwayland app, bypassing whichever native gtk app they should have interacted with.

I love everything about this, especially this quote in the readme: "Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT."

Would that be pro gain of function? Not sure if I like it.

The full quote is from a video game mad scientist, so yes it would be pro gain of function. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OmH7tAJ0SfA

"Those of you who volunteered to be injected with praying mantis DNA, I've got some good news and some bad news. Bad news is we're postponing those tests indefinitely. Good news is we've got a much better test for you: fighting an army of mantis men. Pick up a rifle and follow the yellow line on the floor. You'll know when the test starts."
