simple-popup

Small example that demonstrates:

• Showing a popup with shell.popups().builder(...)
• Content-based sizing (manual) using a Slint Timer to call resize_popup(width, height)
• Multiple simultaneous popups (one at cursor, one centered)

This example intentionally keeps the popup “resize callback” pattern, since the popup window size cannot be tracked automatically.

Run

From the layer-shika workspace root:

cargo run -p simple-popup

Notes

• Popups are transient windows intended for menus/tooltips/dialogs.
• For PopupSize::Content, the popup starts small and then requests a resize once layout stabilizes.
• If you don’t see the popup, make sure your compositor supports xdg-shell popups and that the surface is focused.
