FYI, I have layer shell (floating window) support in my Wayland + EGUI wrapper (wayapp): https://github.com/Ciantic/wayapp/blob/main/examples/egui_layer_shell_example.rs It of course works only on Wayland, as that is the point of my wrapper, no winit or other crossplatform setups. |

@Ciantic that sounds very promising and might resolve our last issue with egui. I'll try the wrapper in the next couple of days. |

Over the past year centerpiece startup time has gotten slower and slower. This is mostly due to iced receiving more features and not being optimized for fast startup performance. The most pressing issue which influences the startup time of centerpiece negatively is font loading. This is tracked over #183, has been an issue for a long time and does not seem to be fixed anytime soon.
Since centerpiece is using a very minimal feature set of iced, I've been thinking about switching to another, more lightweight, ui library for quite some time. This PR contains the change from iced to egui.
My recent tests have shown the following startup times of centerpiece
This biggest issue right now is that eui has no support for the wayland layer shell protocol. egui is waiting for layer shell support in winit (rust-windowing/winit#2582, rust-windowing/winit#4044).
We'll be merging this PR anyways, even if it does not provide native floating support in wayland, it does provide a significant performance improvement. Floating can be fixed by configuring floating for centerpiece windows in your window manager. We'll keep this change on main for quite a while and if we decide to release it without floating support, it will become a breaking change.
This resolves #246.
This resolves #174.
