<overlay>
<overlay> is a container that does not participate in page layout. It occupies no space itself and requires neither width nor height.
When rendered, the content inside <overlay> is completely detached from the Lynx document flow and promoted to a rendering layer outside of Lynx.
By default, the only child of <overlay> uses the screen dimensions as its width and height. It is recommended to treat it as an independent drawing container for the full overlay content.
Use cases
- When embedding a Lynx sub-module in a native page, use
<overlay>to build a dialog that covers the entire page. - When the page is built entirely with Lynx, do not use
<overlay>; simply useposition: fixedinstead.
Usage
Requirements
<overlay>can only have one direct child node.<overlay>itself must setposition: fixed.
Recommended Usage
- Use the only child node of
<overlay>as the backdrop container:- Even if the background is transparent, it is still recommended to render it.
- Explicitly set the size:
width: 100%; height: 100%. - Explicitly create an independent stacking context:
z-index: 0.
- To adjust the dialog’s visual size, control it inside the backdrop (e.g. with
margin) instead of changing the backdrop’s own size.

Harmony
Introduces the concept of layers, which are divided into four levels. The larger the layer, the closer it is to the bottom. By default, it is the first level. The layers are arranged in order from 1 to 4. The displayed layer is specified and is not affected by the order of display. Within each layer, the arrangement is based on the 'last in, first out' logic. The layer cannot be dynamically adjusted when the overlay is displayed, and can only be adjusted when it is hidden. *
