Developed and delivered a feature for the cjpais/handy repository that integrated GTK layer-shell support into the overlay system, targeting improved compatibility with Wayland-based Linux desktops. The work focused on enabling overlays to anchor and display correctly across different environments by designing and implementing initialization and update functions for the GTK layer shell. Using Rust and leveraging expertise in GTK, Wayland, and system programming, the developer structured the codebase for maintainability and future enhancements. This update reduced manual configuration and overlay positioning errors, enhancing cross-desktop usability while providing clear documentation and a clean API surface for ongoing development and integration.
