Better support for display notches and cutouts in Phosh
Better custom shape screen support for Wayland
Mobile phones often have notches or cutouts in their displays (often to accommodate the camera), rounded corners or waterfalls (lower resolution areas at the edge of the screen).
The aim of this project is to propose and implement a Wayland protocol that gives applications the necessary information about these areas. This allows them to place UI elements in a sensible and visually pleasing way, color lower resolution areas properly and avoid having important information occluded.
Besides for mobile shells like Phosh this information is also important for e.g. video players and other full screen applications and out of the box support in toolkits is desirable.
