Persistent popup on secondary screen #323

Open

Description

@OliverGuy

Hi, since updating to e860404 I've had a persistent popup that shows the currently active window when:
i. using the panels theme, and
ii. a secondary monitor is focused.

I would like to be able to disable it, as it kinda gets in the way imho.
I'd love to contribute a fix or config toggle, but am kind of at a loss as to where the relevant code is located.

Here's my current config (excluding paths and keybinds):

{
    "bar_position": "Top",
    "vertical": false,
    "centered_bar": false,
    "datetime_12h_format": false,
    "terminal_command": "wezterm start -- ",
    "auto_append_hyprland": false,
    "dock_enabled": true,
    "dock_icon_size": 34,
    "dock_always_show": true,
    "bar_workspace_show_number": true,
    "bar_workspace_use_chinese_numerals": true,
    "bar_hide_special_workspace": true,
    "bar_theme": "Pills",
    "dock_theme": "Pills",
    "panel_theme": "Panel",
    "panel_position": "Center",
    "notif_pos": "Top",
    "bar_button_apps_visible": false,
    "bar_systray_visible": true,
    "bar_control_visible": true,
    "bar_network_visible": true,
    "bar_button_tools_visible": true,

    "bar_metrics_visible": true,
    "bar_language_visible": true,
    "bar_date_time_visible": true,
    "bar_button_power_visible": true,
    "corners_visible": false,
    "bar_metrics_disks": [
        "/",
        "/mnt/HDD/",
        "/mnt/SSD"
    ],
    "metrics_visible": {
        "cpu": true,
        "ram": true,
        "disk": true,
        "gpu": true
    },
    "metrics_small_visible": {
        "cpu": true,
        "ram": true,
        "disk": true,
        "gpu": true
    },
    "limited_apps_history": [
        "Spotify"
    ],
    "history_ignored_apps": [
        "Hyprshot"
    ]
}

PS: I love using Ax-Shell, keep up the good work :)

    I'll see what I can do, but just in case... Ambxst was released yesterday. :) It is Ax-Shell's successor.

    Oh wow, will definitely try it, thanks (and congrats) !
    You might want to add it to the readme, so people can see it.
    Any reason why you moved off fabric ?

    Yup, I was gonna add it right now, heh.
    No reason really, I still love Fabric, but one day I was trying out Quickshell and... It went kinda far. I had already better code because I knew what I was doing from the start, and it was performing better, so... I couldn't stop there.

    Ok, found it !
    Smh initializing self._forced_occlusion = True in modules/notch.py makes it go away.
    This is good enough for me, but if you want I can contribute a setting flag.
