    Hello, backend dev here. I want to build some very specific gui stuff for linux desktop and i am confused. Let me first tell you what I want to build. Then I will explain my confusion. So I want to build something like https://github.com/ricotz/plank and https://github.com/xfce-mirror/xfce4-panel. It is not supposed to be cross platform, specifically for linux x86 64 bit. For Xorg specifically.

    So I am thinking about some sort of application, that does it and is fullscreen and borderless by default. Both these apps cannot be seperate windows.

What are some alternatives?
