[bug] `always_on_bottom` fails to set window to bottom when created on Windows

[amrbashir]

you need to pair it with .focused(false) otherwise the window will be created with focus and will be placed on top until it loses focus

Thanks! That indeed works, but the window still flickers upon creation. Does that have a solution?

[amrbashir]

Not sure what flicker you mean, can you show a video?

Sorry my screen recording software can only capture one app so I have to use my phone:

screen-recording.mp4

Sorry @amrbashir, .focused(false) does solve the issue in the snippet above. I've just narrowed down my app and found that to reproduce the "flickering" problem we further need to set .maximized(true). Note that .focused(false) further causes problems when we call .set_ignore_cursor_events(true/false). Please try the following:

fn main() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .setup(|app| {
            let main = WebviewWindowBuilder::new(app, "main", WebviewUrl::App("index.html".into()))
                .maximized(true) // causes the flickering
                .always_on_bottom(true)
                .focused(false)
                .build()?;
            sleep(Duration::from_secs(2));
            main.set_ignore_cursor_events(true)?; // some unexpected motions
            sleep(Duration::from_secs(2));
            main.set_ignore_cursor_events(false)?; // same as above
            Ok(())
        })
        .plugin(tauri_plugin_shell::init())
        .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![greet])
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

Please let me know if you cannot reproduce.
