Hover popups from waybar are rendered under workspace windows

Hello! I recently started experimenting with niri, and so far it's awesome!

However, something I noticed is that, when using a mostly default niri config and a completely default waybar config, hover popups from waybar segments can be drawn under workspace windows, as you can see in the following screenshot:

(I'm pretty sure this specific issue hasn't been reported before, but my search-fu may be weak. Possibly related to #125.)

System Information

(Sorry for not following the exact format in the template, I'm using niri from Nix which doesn't have the commit information embedded in the build.)

  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4090
  • CPU: Intel Core i9-13900k

Hello, set "layer": "top" in the Waybar config. By default it is on the bottom layer which is behind windows, and niri currently renders popups on the same level as the parent surface itself.

Thanks for the quick response!

Would you be amenable to me adding this information to the wiki? (Maybe by adding waybar to the "Important Software" page, and noting this behavior?)

It's already mentioned here and here. 😄 Honestly we should just start rendering the popups on top since that's what other compositors seem to do.
