[wofi] how would I go about making this?
So, using this github issue as a reference, I'm trying to make a wofi menu that appears when a bluetooth file transmission is sent to my PC from my phone (or any other device for that matter).

Transparent or/and non-interactive notifications
I currently use mako for the notifications. When I play Strategy Games (Mouse is all over the place) and a notifcation pops up, the mouse gets stuck on the notification message until I click it.

Any software that can get me pop up windows when doing certain stuff?
I use avizo as a volume indicator, mako for notifications generally.

Is there some app that lets you launch a simple text overlay?
I guess some standard notifications app like https://github.com/emersion/mako doesn't suffice, as it isn't related to a window?

Thoughts over MicroOS aftering giving a try
mako is a Wayland notification daemon from one of the principal Sway/wlroots devs, and is currently provided with openSUSEway. It's pretty minimalist, but so are most things in the Sway/wlroots ecosystem.

Notification daemon priority
Is there any way to force dbus to use a specific notification daemon? On one of my systems, I run both Plasma and Sway. The latter obviously doesn't have a notification system, so I'm using mako. As far as I can tell, mako automatically launches when a notification is fired, however this causes an issue with Plasma. Plasma seems to be shutting down its own notification daemon in favor of anything else that's running, and I'm not sure if there's a way to prevent it from doing that

Toggling floating windows for thunderbird notification
I don’t use Thunderbird, but does it support using FreeDesktop notifications e.g. that would work with Mako? Some applications will fall back to their own windows if there’s no notification daemon running.

How X Window Managers Work, and How to Write One
You think this is bad? Just look at a native Wayland "Hello World" client [1]. This doesn't even print hello world. You have to do the text rendering yourself. And you need at least 500 more lines to implement the equivalent to a simple XGetImage() call.
