Creating and closing floating window.

[ardijanr]

Hi, I am trying to make floating window on a tiling window manager, but looking around in the docs I cant seem to find any mention of it. It should just be a flag or something that needs to be set for it to recognize that it needs to be floating. I understand that this is the window managers job to handle, just exploring the possibility.

Also, other than killing the process is there a way a command/function to close the window from iced?

Issue: #226

works with panic!() but don't really want to panic....

Currently this works, nicer than panic:
std::process::exit()

Forcing window size seems to do the trick for floating window on tiling window managers.

My solution:

fn main() -> iced::Result {
let settings = Settings {
window: window::Settings {
max_size: Some((400,450)),
resizable: false,
..window::Settings::default()
},
..Default::default()
};
ScreenMode::run(settings)
}

I believe this is a winit issue, e.g.: rust-windowing/winit#862 rust-windowing/winit#950

Yeah, there does not seem to be a standard for setting this, would be nice though. Though i think for popups most tiling window managers handle dialog boxes quite well. Its when you want your main window to be a floating window the issue arises.
