Description
It's possible to do a Picture-in-Picture window on other platforms with the following set of flags (basically an always-on-top window not accepting focus and not enumerated on taskbar/dock):
setWindowFlags(Qt::Tool | Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint | Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::WindowDoesNotAcceptFocus); setAttribute(Qt::WA_ShowWithoutActivating); setAttribute(Qt::WA_MacAlwaysShowToolWindow); setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground); setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground);
But nothing seem to work on Wayland. It seems Qt has to support xdg-pip for the same functionality on Wayland. It's already supported by KDE and Firefox.
