The following are related to this project:

• tauri-nspanel: A Tauri plugin that enables the transformation of a standard application window into a panel, providing panel-specific functionalities and methods. It is designed for versatile application across various projects.
• tauri-plugin-spotlight: Also a Tauri plugin that helps you to emulate a spotlight window behavior. Unlike the tauri-nspanel or this example project, it does not utilize a panel. As a result, its ability to draw over fullscreen applications on newer macOS versions may be limited.
