Hmm, in my case, it flashes for less than a second (I even see some apps in the list) but then quits immediately. There’s no error message nor panic of any kind.

Hi! thanks for the feedback. I’m guessing that means you’re getting a window unfocused event directly after the window loads. I haven’t tested this in many environments. Are you on Linux? What desktop?

Commenting out this line should make it work if my theory is correct.

That’s it, it works perfectly afterwards. I’m running Linux with XFCE.

Take a look how I solved this issue here. On linux and macos the unfocused and focused window events are not paired properly

I was able to get some success using a layer shell rather than standard window by using and following sample code present in the PopOS fork of iced: feat: experiemental impl of layer shell window using pop variant of iced (WIP) by kgilmer · Pull Request #5 · kgilmer/elbey · GitHub
