Windowing with iced?

[2e0byo]

Does anyone have any experience with iced ? Iced native can apparently expose a raw_window_handle, and all the widgets we need are already built in (tooltips, menus).

Hum, I can't picture a Iced use case in Emacs. Emacs draws everything itself, except the menu. But tao has menu support already.

and the tooltips! Iced has a tooltip widget but I've no idea how it plays with just treating the window as a surface to draw on.

I was actually looking for some tooltip implementations to have a go at writing one for tao.

However I think iced just draws the tooltip in the viewport without using a new surface at all. src. But I've not read the source thoroughly enough.

Emacs has an overlay(not sure whether is called overlay) implantation of tooltip, which works with tao already. Just tried with `company-mode`. For native tooptip, there is gtk::Tooltip[0], since tao on Unix is basically GTK window. Doubt that gonna work with `--with-wr-gl=glutin/surfman`. I think for GTK widget to work, we need `--with-wr-gl=gtk3`. [0](https://gtk-rs.org/gtk3-rs/stable/latest/docs/gtk/struct.Tooltip.html)

yes, the overlay tooltips work. Actually now I think of it there are two kinds of tooltips: company-mode style selection window (which work) and lsp like large tooltips, which currently spawns a real window and then crashes (segfault in gtk, at least on hyprland). I'll open an issue about that.
