Make layer-shell layer configurable - #44
Merged

Conversation
zlaunch previously hardcoded its layer-shell surface to the Overlay layer. This sensible default prevents certain input-method popups (e.g. fcitx5 with Chinese IMEs) from rendering above the launcher. Expose a new `layer_shell_layer` config option accepting "overlay" (default) or "top". Other wlr layers are deliberately not exposed since they would put the launcher below regular windows. Refs #43

Summary
layer_shell_layerconfig option (values:"overlay"(default) /"top"), replacing the hardcodedLayer::Overlayat the launcher window's layer-shell surface.Overlay; opt in toTopwhen another surface — e.g. an fcitx5 input panel — needs to render above the launcher.OverlayandTop; the protocol also definesBackground/Bottom, but those would put the launcher below regular windows and are never useful for a launcher. Invalid values are rejected at parse time rather than silently producing a broken launcher.Example config:
