Hello
I want to layer screens in SLS using multiple screens. I want to access the “notification” (Screen 4) anywhere, so if i am on Screen 1 or 2 i can just call it and its ontop of the current screen, but you can still see the background of Screen 1 or 2. You could duplicate the “notifications” to every screen, but this seems inefficient to structure the UI. For sure there is a way to do it better.
Best regards

Another way is to have all of the screens into one single screens. You would use toggle change the visibility of the widgets.
Yes, but this is exactly the inefficient approach that I tried to avoid as this makes things not well structured.
Is there any other way to do it?
Best regards

Absolutely, there are ways to achieve what you want without duplicating the notification screen across all your SLS screens. Here are two common approaches:
Overlay Screens: Most SLS development environments allow you to create an overlay screen. This screen exists on top of the current screen, but allows the background of the current screen to show through. You can trigger this overlay screen from any other screen in your application, including Screen 1, Screen 2, or Screen 3. This approach is ideal for notifications or other temporary messages that you don’t want to clutter up your main screens.
Pop-Up Windows: Another approach is to use a pop-up window. Pop-up windows are similar to overlay screens, but they typically offer more flexibility in terms of size and placement. You can create a pop-up window that contains your notification content, and then position it on top of the current screen wherever you like. Pop-up windows can also be modal, which means that they prevent the user from interacting with the underlying screen until the pop-up is closed. This can be useful for notifications that require immediate attention.
Both overlay screens and pop-up windows are common ways to implement notification functionality in SLS applications. The best approach for your application will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
Here are some additional things to consider when choosing an approach:
The complexity of your notifications: If your notifications are simple and don’t require a lot of user interaction, an overlay screen may be sufficient. However, if your notifications are more complex or require user input, a pop-up window may be a better option.
The amount of screen real estate you have: If you have limited screen space, you may want to use overlay screens, as they take up less space than pop-up windows.
The need for user interaction: If your notifications require users to take action, such as clicking a button, you may want to use pop-up windows, as they can be made modal.
