GtkOverlay is a container which contains a single main child, on top of which it can place “overlay” widgets.

An example GtkOverlay

The position of each overlay widget is determined by its Gtk.Widget:halign and Gtk.Widget:valign properties. E.g. a widget with both alignments set to Align.START will be placed at the top left corner of the GtkOverlay container, whereas an overlay with halign set to Align.CENTER and valign set to Align.END will be placed a the bottom edge of the GtkOverlay, horizontally centered. The position can be adjusted by setting the margin properties of the child to non-zero values.

More complicated placement of overlays is possible by connecting to the Gtk.Overlay::get-child-position signal.

An overlay’s minimum and natural sizes are those of its main child. The sizes of overlay children are not considered when measuring these preferred sizes.

GtkOverlay as GtkBuildable
The GtkOverlay implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports placing a child as an overlay by specifying “overlay” as the “type” attribute of a <child> element.

CSS nodes
GtkOverlay has a single CSS node with the name “overlay”. Overlay children whose alignments cause them to be positioned at an edge get the style classes “.left”, “.right”, “.top”, and/or “.bottom” according to their position.
