Hi,

Weston core handles layers, desktop-shell et al. just manipulate them.

Look for 'struct weston_layer' and 'enum weston_layer_position'. A
plugin can basically invent a new layer, hook it up and assing it a
position (stacking order) from the enum values or any other value in
between. The enum is there to give some idea of what layers generally
might exist and how they are ordered so you can pick a suitable
position value.


Thanks,
