Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix: Ensure proper fullscreen rendering without borders

- Exclude true fullscreen windows from tiling calculations in `Client::is_tiled`.
- Add `apply_fullscreen` helper in `arrange_monitor` to resize fullscreen windows to the entire monitor.
- Update `apply_border_widths` to correctly strip borders from true fullscreen windows.
- In `restack`, push true fullscreen windows to a new `fullscreen_stack` positioned above `bar_win` and `floating_stack`, guaranteeing they obscure everything else on screen.

+1. **Analyze `apply_border_widths`:** The current `apply_border_widths` function strips the border (`strip_border = true`) only if the client is *not* floating and *not* fullscreen (`!info.is_floating && !info.is_fullscreen`). Wait, if a client *is* fullscreen, `strip_border` becomes `false`? That means it gets a border! This is definitely wrong. Fullscreen windows should *never* have a border.
+
+Let's look at `strip_border` again:
+```rust
+let strip_border = !info.is_floating
+    && !info.is_fullscreen
+    && ((clientcount == 1 && is_tiling) || is_monocle);
+```
+If `info.is_fullscreen` is `true`, `strip_border` is `false`, so it returns `info.old_border_width`. We should change this so `strip_border` is `true` if `info.is_fullscreen` is true, or if the layout conditions match.
+
+Let's change it to:
+```rust
+let strip_border = info.is_fullscreen
+    || (!info.is_floating && ((clientcount == 1 && is_tiling) || is_monocle));
+```
+
+2. **Analyze `arrange_monitor`:**
+```rust
+pub fn arrange_monitor(ctx: &mut WmCtx<'_>, monitor_id: MonitorId) {
+    let clientcount = {
+        let m = ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id).expect("invalid monitor");
+        m.tiled_client_count(&*ctx.g().clients) as u32
+    };
+
+    if let Some(m) = ctx.g_mut().monitor_mut(monitor_id) {
+        m.clientcount = clientcount;
+    }
+
+    apply_border_widths(ctx, monitor_id);
+    run_layout(ctx, monitor_id);
+    place_overlay(ctx, monitor_id);
+}
+```
+
+Wait, `run_layout` runs the layout algorithm (like `algo::tile`). `run_layout` doesn't handle fullscreen windows; it leaves them where they are or modifies them. But `fullscreen_request` in Wayland handlers changes `client.is_fullscreen` and `mon.fullscreen`. The layout doesn't automatically resize the fullscreen window to the full monitor size on Wayland?
+
+Let's look at `WaylandState::fullscreen_request`.
+```rust
+    fn fullscreen_request(
+        &mut self,
+        surface: ToplevelSurface,
+        mut _output: Option<smithay::reexports::wayland_server::protocol::wl_output::WlOutput>,
+    ) {
+        if let Some(win) = self.window_id_for_toplevel(&surface) {
+            if let Some(g) = self.globals_mut() {
+                if let Some(client) = g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
+                    client.is_fullscreen = true;
+                }
+                g.space_dirty = true;
+                g.layout_dirty = true;
+                if let Some(mon) = g.selected_monitor_mut_opt() {
+                    mon.fullscreen = Some(win);
+                }
+            }
+        }
+        surface.with_pending_state(|state| {
+            state.states.set(smithay::reexports::wayland_protocols::xdg::shell::server::xdg_toplevel::State::Fullscreen);
+        });
+        surface.send_configure();
+    }
+```
+If it's fullscreen, it gets `is_fullscreen = true`, and we flag `layout_dirty = true`.
+
+When `arrange` runs:
+```rust
+pub fn arrange(ctx: &mut WmCtx<'_>, monitor_id: Option<MonitorId>) {
+...
+    if let Some(id) = monitor_id {
+        // First pass: show/hide stack
+        crate::client::show_hide(ctx);
+        // Second pass: arrange and restack
+        arrange_monitor(ctx, id);
+        restack(ctx, id);
+    }
+...
+```
+
+If we look at `apply_border_widths`, it will handle border width. But what about resizing to fullscreen geometry?
+In Wayland, the window needs to be resized to the `monitor_rect` (not just `work_rect` which excludes the bar).
+
+Let's check `run_layout` -> `layout.arrange(ctx, &mut m)`. If a window is fullscreen, it should be resized to the monitor rect and raised to top.
+But `run_layout` only applies the current layout to *tiled* and *floating* windows.
+
+Let's check `place_overlay` and what happens to fullscreen windows. Wait, we don't have a specific step to apply fullscreen geometry in `arrange_monitor`!
+We need to add a step to position and resize fullscreen windows correctly.
+
+Let's see if we can do this in `arrange_monitor`:
+```rust
+pub fn arrange_monitor(ctx: &mut WmCtx<'_>, monitor_id: MonitorId) {
+    let clientcount = {
+        let m = ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id).expect("invalid monitor");
+        m.tiled_client_count(&*ctx.g().clients) as u32
+    };
+
+    if let Some(m) = ctx.g_mut().monitor_mut(monitor_id) {
+        m.clientcount = clientcount;
+    }
+
+    apply_border_widths(ctx, monitor_id);
+    run_layout(ctx, monitor_id);
+    apply_fullscreen(ctx, monitor_id); // <--- Add this!
+    place_overlay(ctx, monitor_id);
+}
+
+fn apply_fullscreen(ctx: &mut WmCtx<'_>, monitor_id: MonitorId) {
+    // get fullscreen windows for this monitor and resize them
+    let mon = match ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id) {
+        Some(m) => m,
+        None => return,
+    };
+    let mon_rect = mon.monitor_rect;
+    let fullscreen_windows: Vec<_> = mon.clients.iter().copied().filter(|&win| {
+        ctx.client(win).is_some_and(|c| c.is_fullscreen)
+    }).collect();
+
+    for win in fullscreen_windows {
+        ctx.resize_client(win, mon_rect);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Wait, if we do this, it applies to both X11 and Wayland. Does X11 handle fullscreen differently?
+In `set_fullscreen_x11`:
+```rust
+            let mon_rect = ctx_x11
+                .core
+                .g
+                .monitor(monitor_id)
+                .map(|m| m.monitor_rect)
+                .unwrap_or_default();
+
+            // Animate the expansion only for non-floating clients (floating
+            // windows just snap into place immediately).
+            if !is_floating {
+                animate_client_x11(ctx_x11, win, &mon_rect, 10, 0);
+            }
+
+            // Position and raise the window.
+            let _ = ctx_x11.x11.conn.configure_window(
+                x11_win,
+                &ConfigureWindowAux::new()
+                    .x(mon_rect.x)
+                    .y(mon_rect.y)
+                    .width(mon_rect.w as u32)
+                    .height(mon_rect.h as u32),
+            );
+```
+X11 handles it directly in `set_fullscreen_x11`, but when the monitor changes or layout is re-arranged, `arrange_monitor` doesn't currently resize the fullscreen window. If we add `apply_fullscreen` in `arrange_monitor`, it will continually enforce the fullscreen geometry for any fullscreen window. This is good! It handles monitor resize correctly too.
+
+Also, `restack`:
+```rust
+    let mut tiled_stack = Vec::new();
+    let mut floating_stack = Vec::new();
+    let mut fullscreen_stack = Vec::new(); // should be on top of floating? Or does Wayland just use `restack`?
+```
+Let's see `restack`:
+```rust
+    let mut stack = tiled_stack;
+    stack.push(bar_win);
+    stack.extend(floating_stack);
+    ctx.restack(&stack);
+```
+Wait, if a window is fullscreen, `info.is_floating` is currently set to `true` in `set_fullscreen_x11`. So it goes into `floating_stack`.
+If we have a fullscreen window, it should be at the very top. Wait, if `set_fullscreen_x11` sets `is_floating = true`, what does Wayland do? `WaylandState::fullscreen_request` does *not* set `is_floating = true`.
+
+Let's check `is_tiled`:
+```rust
+    pub fn is_tiled(&self, selected_tags: u32) -> bool {
+        !self.is_floating && self.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) && !self.is_hidden
+    }
+```
+In Wayland, if `fullscreen_request` doesn't set `is_floating = true`, then `is_tiled` will be `true`! So the window will still be laid out by the layout algorithm in `run_layout`!
+Ah! This is the core issue!
+`run_layout` runs, say, `tile` algorithm, which will resize the fullscreen window to a tiled position.
+Then if we add `apply_fullscreen`, it will resize it to fullscreen. But it was already tiled, so maybe it flickers or fights?
+Actually, `tile` only considers `tiled` windows:
+```rust
+    let tiled = m.collect_tiled(&ctx.g.clients);
+```
+If a window is fullscreen, it shouldn't be considered "tiled" for layout purposes, OR `collect_tiled` should ignore fullscreen windows.
+
+Let's look at `collect_tiled`:
+```rust
+    pub fn collect_tiled(&self, clients: &HashMap<WindowId, Client>) -> Vec<Client> {
+        let selected_tags = self.selected_tags();
+        self.clients
+            .iter()
+            .filter_map(|&w| clients.get(&w))
+            .filter(|c| c.is_tiled(selected_tags))
+            .cloned()
+            .collect()
+    }
+```
+If we modify `is_tiled` to also require `!self.is_fullscreen`:
+```rust
+    pub fn is_tiled(&self, selected_tags: u32) -> bool {
+        !self.is_floating && !self.is_fullscreen && self.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) && !self.is_hidden
+    }
+```
+But wait, if we do this, it won't be tiled, but what stack does it go into in `restack`?
+```rust
+    let mut tiled_stack = Vec::new();
+    let mut floating_stack = Vec::new();
+    let mut fullscreen_stack = Vec::new();
+    if let Some(m) = ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id) {
+        for &win in &m.stack {
+            if let Some(c) = ctx.client(win) {
+                if c.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) {
+                    if c.is_fullscreen {
+                        fullscreen_stack.push(win);
+                    } else if c.is_floating {
+                        floating_stack.push(win);
+                    } else {
+                        tiled_stack.push(win);
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+```
+If we update `restack` to handle `fullscreen_stack`, and push it *after* `floating_stack`, then fullscreen windows will be on top of everything! Including floating windows and the bar. The bar is `bar_win`.
+```rust
+    let mut stack = tiled_stack;
+    stack.push(bar_win);
+    stack.extend(floating_stack);
+    stack.extend(fullscreen_stack);
+    ctx.restack(&stack);
+```
+This guarantees the fullscreen window is on top of the bar and other windows.
+
+3. **Check `set_fullscreen_x11`:**
+```rust
+        // Mark as floating so the layout engine leaves it alone.
+        if let Some(c) = ctx_x11.core.g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
+            c.is_floating = true;
+        }
+```
+If we fix `is_tiled` to exclude fullscreen windows, X11 doesn't *need* to set `is_floating = true`. But wait, if X11 un-fullscreens it:
+```rust
+        if let Some(c) = ctx_x11.core.g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
+            c.is_fullscreen = false;
+            c.is_floating = c.oldstate != 0;
+        }
+```
+It restores `is_floating` from `oldstate`.
+If we change `is_tiled` to check `!self.is_true_fullscreen()`:
+```rust
+    pub fn is_tiled(&self, selected_tags: u32) -> bool {
+        !self.is_floating && !self.is_true_fullscreen() && self.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) && !self.is_hidden
+    }
+```
+Wait, `is_true_fullscreen()` returns `self.is_fullscreen && !self.isfakefullscreen`.
+Fake fullscreen means it's fullscreen to the application, but tiled to the WM. So it *should* be tiled if it's fake fullscreen!
+Yes! `!self.is_true_fullscreen()` is exactly what we want.
+
+If we make these changes:
+1. `src/types/client.rs`:
+```rust
+    pub fn is_tiled(&self, selected_tags: u32) -> bool {
+        !self.is_floating && !self.is_true_fullscreen() && self.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) && !self.is_hidden
+    }
+```
+2. `src/layouts/manager.rs`:
+In `apply_border_widths`:
+```rust
+            let strip_border = info.is_true_fullscreen() ||
+                (!info.is_floating
+                && !info.is_fullscreen
+                && ((clientcount == 1 && is_tiling) || is_monocle));
+```
+Actually, if `info.is_true_fullscreen()` is true, strip border. Otherwise, use the old condition. Wait, fake fullscreen windows should keep their border! So the condition should be:
+```rust
+            let strip_border = info.is_true_fullscreen()
+                || (!info.is_floating
+                && !info.is_true_fullscreen()
+                && ((clientcount == 1 && is_tiling) || is_monocle));
+```
+In `arrange_monitor`, add `apply_fullscreen`:
+```rust
+fn apply_fullscreen(ctx: &mut WmCtx<'_>, monitor_id: MonitorId) {
+    let mon = match ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id) {
+        Some(m) => m,
+        None => return,
+    };
+    let mon_rect = mon.monitor_rect;
+    let fullscreen_windows: Vec<_> = mon.clients.iter().copied().filter(|&win| {
+        ctx.client(win).is_some_and(|c| c.is_true_fullscreen())
+    }).collect();
+
+    for win in fullscreen_windows {
+        ctx.resize_client(win, mon_rect);
+    }
+}
+```
+Call it in `arrange_monitor`:
+```rust
+    apply_border_widths(ctx, monitor_id);
+    run_layout(ctx, monitor_id);
+    apply_fullscreen(ctx, monitor_id);
+    place_overlay(ctx, monitor_id);
+```
+In `restack`:
+```rust
+    let mut tiled_stack = Vec::new();
+    let mut floating_stack = Vec::new();
+    let mut fullscreen_stack = Vec::new();
+    if let Some(m) = ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id) {
+        for &win in &m.stack {
+            if let Some(c) = ctx.client(win) {
+                if c.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) {
+                    if c.is_true_fullscreen() {
+                        fullscreen_stack.push(win);
+                    } else if c.is_floating {
+                        floating_stack.push(win);
+                    } else {
+                        tiled_stack.push(win);
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+    }
+```
+And replace the `selected_window` logic to handle if it's in `fullscreen_stack`:
+Wait, the `selected_window` logic in `restack` currently only raises it within its own layer (`floating_stack` or `tiled_stack`).
+```rust
+    if let Some(idx) = fullscreen_stack
+        .iter()
+        .position(|&win| win == selected_window)
+    {
+        let selected = fullscreen_stack.remove(idx);
+        fullscreen_stack.push(selected);
+    } else if let Some(idx) = floating_stack
+        .iter()
+        .position(|&win| win == selected_window)
+    {
+        let selected = floating_stack.remove(idx);
+        floating_stack.push(selected);
+    } else {
+        // ... tiled stack handling ...
+```
+And then:
+```rust
+    let mut stack = tiled_stack;
+    stack.push(bar_win);
+    stack.extend(floating_stack);
+    stack.extend(fullscreen_stack);
+    ctx.restack(&stack);
+```
+
+Let's double check `WaylandState::fullscreen_request`.
+Does it handle unfullscreen?
+```rust
+    fn unfullscreen_request(&mut self, surface: ToplevelSurface) {
+        if let Some(win) = self.window_id_for_toplevel(&surface) {
+            if let Some(g) = self.globals_mut() {
+                if let Some(client) = g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
+                    client.is_fullscreen = false;
+                }
+                g.space_dirty = true;
+                g.layout_dirty = true;
+                if let Some(mon) = g.selected_monitor_mut_opt() {
+                    if mon.fullscreen == Some(win) {
+                        mon.fullscreen = None;
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+```
+Wait, what if `client.is_fullscreen` is toggled off? Does the layout engine automatically resize it back to the tiled or floating geometry?
+Yes, on the next `arrange()` pass, `is_true_fullscreen()` will be false. So `apply_fullscreen` will skip it. `run_layout` will pick it up (if tiled), or `float_left` will handle it (if floating). Wait, floating windows need to be resized back to their floating geometry! `float_left` doesn't resize floating windows, it only applies snap position!
+If a Wayland window was floating, and was fullscreened, it gets resized to `mon_rect`. When it is unfullscreened, who resizes it back to its floating geometry?
+Ah! `save_floating` saves `c.float_geo = c.geo`. But wait, if it was fullscreened, `WaylandState::fullscreen_request` DOES NOT save the floating geometry or border width.
+If a floating window goes fullscreen, and then unfullscreen, we need to restore its geometry.
+
+If we look at `set_fullscreen_x11`:
+```rust
+        ctx_x11.core.g.clients.save_border_width(win);
+
+        if !is_fake_fs {
+            // Remove the border.
+            if let Some(c) = ctx_x11.core.g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
+                c.border_width = 0;
+            }
+...
+    } else if !fullscreen && is_fs {
+...
+        ctx_x11.core.g.clients.restore_border_width(win);
+
+        if !is_fake_fs {
+            // Snap back to the geometry that was stored before going fullscreen.
+            let mut wmctx = WmCtx::X11(ctx_x11.reborrow());
+            wmctx.resize_client(win, old_geo);
+            arrange(&mut wmctx, Some(monitor_id));
+        }
+```
+
+We need to make Wayland do the same thing! Or at least, handle the state transitions properly.
+Wait, can we centralize fullscreen toggling in a helper function? We have `set_fullscreen_x11` which is X11 specific.
+For Wayland, the compositor calls `fullscreen_request`.
+```rust
+    fn fullscreen_request(
+        &mut self,
+        surface: ToplevelSurface,
+        mut _output: Option<smithay::reexports::wayland_server::protocol::wl_output::WlOutput>,
+    ) {
+        if let Some(win) = self.window_id_for_toplevel(&surface) {
+            if let Some(g) = self.globals_mut() {
+                if let Some(client) = g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
+                    if !client.is_fullscreen {
+                        client.is_fullscreen = true;
+                        g.clients.save_border_width(win);
+                        client.border_width = 0;
+                        client.old_geo = client.geo; // save current geometry
+                    }
+                }
+                g.space_dirty = true;
+                g.layout_dirty = true;
+                if let Some(mon) = g.selected_monitor_mut_opt() {
+                    mon.fullscreen = Some(win);
+                }
+            }
+        }
+```
+And `unfullscreen_request`:
+```rust
+    fn unfullscreen_request(&mut self, surface: ToplevelSurface) {
+        if let Some(win) = self.window_id_for_toplevel(&surface) {
+            if let Some(g) = self.globals_mut() {
+                if let Some(client) = g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
+                    if client.is_fullscreen {
+                        client.is_fullscreen = false;
+                        g.clients.restore_border_width(win);
+                        // restore geometry for Wayland
+                        client.geo = client.old_geo; // but we need to tell compositor to resize
+                    }
+                }
+                g.space_dirty = true;
+                g.layout_dirty = true;
+...
+```
+Wait, if we just set `client.geo = client.old_geo`, the compositor will sync space from globals, but does it send a configure request? `WaylandState::sync_space_from_globals` does `self.resize_window` internally or similar.
+Wait, `sync_space_from_globals` maps it using `g.clients.get(&marker.id).geo`.
+
+Let's test this out.

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] fix: Ensure proper fullscreen rendering without borders

- Exclude true fullscreen windows from tiling calculations in `Client::is_tiled`.
- Add `apply_fullscreen` helper in `arrange_monitor` to resize fullscreen windows to the entire monitor.
- Update `apply_border_widths` to correctly strip borders from true fullscreen windows.
- In `restack`, push true fullscreen windows to a new `fullscreen_stack` positioned above `bar_win` and `floating_stack`, guaranteeing they obscure everything else on screen.

-1. **Analyze `apply_border_widths`:** The current `apply_border_widths` function strips the border (`strip_border = true`) only if the client is *not* floating and *not* fullscreen (`!info.is_floating && !info.is_fullscreen`). Wait, if a client *is* fullscreen, `strip_border` becomes `false`? That means it gets a border! This is definitely wrong. Fullscreen windows should *never* have a border.
-
-Let's look at `strip_border` again:
-```rust
-let strip_border = !info.is_floating
-    && !info.is_fullscreen
-    && ((clientcount == 1 && is_tiling) || is_monocle);
-```
-If `info.is_fullscreen` is `true`, `strip_border` is `false`, so it returns `info.old_border_width`. We should change this so `strip_border` is `true` if `info.is_fullscreen` is true, or if the layout conditions match.
-
-Let's change it to:
-```rust
-let strip_border = info.is_fullscreen
-    || (!info.is_floating && ((clientcount == 1 && is_tiling) || is_monocle));
-```
-
-2. **Analyze `arrange_monitor`:**
-```rust
-pub fn arrange_monitor(ctx: &mut WmCtx<'_>, monitor_id: MonitorId) {
-    let clientcount = {
-        let m = ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id).expect("invalid monitor");
-        m.tiled_client_count(&*ctx.g().clients) as u32
-    };
-
-    if let Some(m) = ctx.g_mut().monitor_mut(monitor_id) {
-        m.clientcount = clientcount;
-    }
-
-    apply_border_widths(ctx, monitor_id);
-    run_layout(ctx, monitor_id);
-    place_overlay(ctx, monitor_id);
-}
-```
-
-Wait, `run_layout` runs the layout algorithm (like `algo::tile`). `run_layout` doesn't handle fullscreen windows; it leaves them where they are or modifies them. But `fullscreen_request` in Wayland handlers changes `client.is_fullscreen` and `mon.fullscreen`. The layout doesn't automatically resize the fullscreen window to the full monitor size on Wayland?
-
-Let's look at `WaylandState::fullscreen_request`.
-```rust
-    fn fullscreen_request(
-        &mut self,
-        surface: ToplevelSurface,
-        mut _output: Option<smithay::reexports::wayland_server::protocol::wl_output::WlOutput>,
-    ) {
-        if let Some(win) = self.window_id_for_toplevel(&surface) {
-            if let Some(g) = self.globals_mut() {
-                if let Some(client) = g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
-                    client.is_fullscreen = true;
-                }
-                g.space_dirty = true;
-                g.layout_dirty = true;
-                if let Some(mon) = g.selected_monitor_mut_opt() {
-                    mon.fullscreen = Some(win);
-                }
-            }
-        }
-        surface.with_pending_state(|state| {
-            state.states.set(smithay::reexports::wayland_protocols::xdg::shell::server::xdg_toplevel::State::Fullscreen);
-        });
-        surface.send_configure();
-    }
-```
-If it's fullscreen, it gets `is_fullscreen = true`, and we flag `layout_dirty = true`.
-
-When `arrange` runs:
-```rust
-pub fn arrange(ctx: &mut WmCtx<'_>, monitor_id: Option<MonitorId>) {
-...
-    if let Some(id) = monitor_id {
-        // First pass: show/hide stack
-        crate::client::show_hide(ctx);
-        // Second pass: arrange and restack
-        arrange_monitor(ctx, id);
-        restack(ctx, id);
-    }
-...
-```
-
-If we look at `apply_border_widths`, it will handle border width. But what about resizing to fullscreen geometry?
-In Wayland, the window needs to be resized to the `monitor_rect` (not just `work_rect` which excludes the bar).
-
-Let's check `run_layout` -> `layout.arrange(ctx, &mut m)`. If a window is fullscreen, it should be resized to the monitor rect and raised to top.
-But `run_layout` only applies the current layout to *tiled* and *floating* windows.
-
-Let's check `place_overlay` and what happens to fullscreen windows. Wait, we don't have a specific step to apply fullscreen geometry in `arrange_monitor`!
-We need to add a step to position and resize fullscreen windows correctly.
-
-Let's see if we can do this in `arrange_monitor`:
-```rust
-pub fn arrange_monitor(ctx: &mut WmCtx<'_>, monitor_id: MonitorId) {
-    let clientcount = {
-        let m = ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id).expect("invalid monitor");
-        m.tiled_client_count(&*ctx.g().clients) as u32
-    };
-
-    if let Some(m) = ctx.g_mut().monitor_mut(monitor_id) {
-        m.clientcount = clientcount;
-    }
-
-    apply_border_widths(ctx, monitor_id);
-    run_layout(ctx, monitor_id);
-    apply_fullscreen(ctx, monitor_id); // <--- Add this!
-    place_overlay(ctx, monitor_id);
-}
-
-fn apply_fullscreen(ctx: &mut WmCtx<'_>, monitor_id: MonitorId) {
-    // get fullscreen windows for this monitor and resize them
-    let mon = match ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id) {
-        Some(m) => m,
-        None => return,
-    };
-    let mon_rect = mon.monitor_rect;
-    let fullscreen_windows: Vec<_> = mon.clients.iter().copied().filter(|&win| {
-        ctx.client(win).is_some_and(|c| c.is_fullscreen)
-    }).collect();
-
-    for win in fullscreen_windows {
-        ctx.resize_client(win, mon_rect);
-    }
-}
-```
-
-Wait, if we do this, it applies to both X11 and Wayland. Does X11 handle fullscreen differently?
-In `set_fullscreen_x11`:
-```rust
-            let mon_rect = ctx_x11
-                .core
-                .g
-                .monitor(monitor_id)
-                .map(|m| m.monitor_rect)
-                .unwrap_or_default();
-
-            // Animate the expansion only for non-floating clients (floating
-            // windows just snap into place immediately).
-            if !is_floating {
-                animate_client_x11(ctx_x11, win, &mon_rect, 10, 0);
-            }
-
-            // Position and raise the window.
-            let _ = ctx_x11.x11.conn.configure_window(
-                x11_win,
-                &ConfigureWindowAux::new()
-                    .x(mon_rect.x)
-                    .y(mon_rect.y)
-                    .width(mon_rect.w as u32)
-                    .height(mon_rect.h as u32),
-            );
-```
-X11 handles it directly in `set_fullscreen_x11`, but when the monitor changes or layout is re-arranged, `arrange_monitor` doesn't currently resize the fullscreen window. If we add `apply_fullscreen` in `arrange_monitor`, it will continually enforce the fullscreen geometry for any fullscreen window. This is good! It handles monitor resize correctly too.
-
-Also, `restack`:
-```rust
-    let mut tiled_stack = Vec::new();
-    let mut floating_stack = Vec::new();
-    let mut fullscreen_stack = Vec::new(); // should be on top of floating? Or does Wayland just use `restack`?
-```
-Let's see `restack`:
-```rust
-    let mut stack = tiled_stack;
-    stack.push(bar_win);
-    stack.extend(floating_stack);
-    ctx.restack(&stack);
-```
-Wait, if a window is fullscreen, `info.is_floating` is currently set to `true` in `set_fullscreen_x11`. So it goes into `floating_stack`.
-If we have a fullscreen window, it should be at the very top. Wait, if `set_fullscreen_x11` sets `is_floating = true`, what does Wayland do? `WaylandState::fullscreen_request` does *not* set `is_floating = true`.
-
-Let's check `is_tiled`:
-```rust
-    pub fn is_tiled(&self, selected_tags: u32) -> bool {
-        !self.is_floating && self.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) && !self.is_hidden
-    }
-```
-In Wayland, if `fullscreen_request` doesn't set `is_floating = true`, then `is_tiled` will be `true`! So the window will still be laid out by the layout algorithm in `run_layout`!
-Ah! This is the core issue!
-`run_layout` runs, say, `tile` algorithm, which will resize the fullscreen window to a tiled position.
-Then if we add `apply_fullscreen`, it will resize it to fullscreen. But it was already tiled, so maybe it flickers or fights?
-Actually, `tile` only considers `tiled` windows:
-```rust
-    let tiled = m.collect_tiled(&ctx.g.clients);
-```
-If a window is fullscreen, it shouldn't be considered "tiled" for layout purposes, OR `collect_tiled` should ignore fullscreen windows.
-
-Let's look at `collect_tiled`:
-```rust
-    pub fn collect_tiled(&self, clients: &HashMap<WindowId, Client>) -> Vec<Client> {
-        let selected_tags = self.selected_tags();
-        self.clients
-            .iter()
-            .filter_map(|&w| clients.get(&w))
-            .filter(|c| c.is_tiled(selected_tags))
-            .cloned()
-            .collect()
-    }
-```
-If we modify `is_tiled` to also require `!self.is_fullscreen`:
-```rust
-    pub fn is_tiled(&self, selected_tags: u32) -> bool {
-        !self.is_floating && !self.is_fullscreen && self.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) && !self.is_hidden
-    }
-```
-But wait, if we do this, it won't be tiled, but what stack does it go into in `restack`?
-```rust
-    let mut tiled_stack = Vec::new();
-    let mut floating_stack = Vec::new();
-    let mut fullscreen_stack = Vec::new();
-    if let Some(m) = ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id) {
-        for &win in &m.stack {
-            if let Some(c) = ctx.client(win) {
-                if c.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) {
-                    if c.is_fullscreen {
-                        fullscreen_stack.push(win);
-                    } else if c.is_floating {
-                        floating_stack.push(win);
-                    } else {
-                        tiled_stack.push(win);
-                    }
-                }
-            }
-        }
-    }
-```
-If we update `restack` to handle `fullscreen_stack`, and push it *after* `floating_stack`, then fullscreen windows will be on top of everything! Including floating windows and the bar. The bar is `bar_win`.
-```rust
-    let mut stack = tiled_stack;
-    stack.push(bar_win);
-    stack.extend(floating_stack);
-    stack.extend(fullscreen_stack);
-    ctx.restack(&stack);
-```
-This guarantees the fullscreen window is on top of the bar and other windows.
-
-3. **Check `set_fullscreen_x11`:**
-```rust
-        // Mark as floating so the layout engine leaves it alone.
-        if let Some(c) = ctx_x11.core.g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
-            c.is_floating = true;
-        }
-```
-If we fix `is_tiled` to exclude fullscreen windows, X11 doesn't *need* to set `is_floating = true`. But wait, if X11 un-fullscreens it:
-```rust
-        if let Some(c) = ctx_x11.core.g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
-            c.is_fullscreen = false;
-            c.is_floating = c.oldstate != 0;
-        }
-```
-It restores `is_floating` from `oldstate`.
-If we change `is_tiled` to check `!self.is_true_fullscreen()`:
-```rust
-    pub fn is_tiled(&self, selected_tags: u32) -> bool {
-        !self.is_floating && !self.is_true_fullscreen() && self.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) && !self.is_hidden
-    }
-```
-Wait, `is_true_fullscreen()` returns `self.is_fullscreen && !self.isfakefullscreen`.
-Fake fullscreen means it's fullscreen to the application, but tiled to the WM. So it *should* be tiled if it's fake fullscreen!
-Yes! `!self.is_true_fullscreen()` is exactly what we want.
-
-If we make these changes:
-1. `src/types/client.rs`:
-```rust
-    pub fn is_tiled(&self, selected_tags: u32) -> bool {
-        !self.is_floating && !self.is_true_fullscreen() && self.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) && !self.is_hidden
-    }
-```
-2. `src/layouts/manager.rs`:
-In `apply_border_widths`:
-```rust
-            let strip_border = info.is_true_fullscreen() ||
-                (!info.is_floating
-                && !info.is_fullscreen
-                && ((clientcount == 1 && is_tiling) || is_monocle));
-```
-Actually, if `info.is_true_fullscreen()` is true, strip border. Otherwise, use the old condition. Wait, fake fullscreen windows should keep their border! So the condition should be:
-```rust
-            let strip_border = info.is_true_fullscreen()
-                || (!info.is_floating
-                && !info.is_true_fullscreen()
-                && ((clientcount == 1 && is_tiling) || is_monocle));
-```
-In `arrange_monitor`, add `apply_fullscreen`:
-```rust
-fn apply_fullscreen(ctx: &mut WmCtx<'_>, monitor_id: MonitorId) {
-    let mon = match ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id) {
-        Some(m) => m,
-        None => return,
-    };
-    let mon_rect = mon.monitor_rect;
-    let fullscreen_windows: Vec<_> = mon.clients.iter().copied().filter(|&win| {
-        ctx.client(win).is_some_and(|c| c.is_true_fullscreen())
-    }).collect();
-
-    for win in fullscreen_windows {
-        ctx.resize_client(win, mon_rect);
-    }
-}
-```
-Call it in `arrange_monitor`:
-```rust
-    apply_border_widths(ctx, monitor_id);
-    run_layout(ctx, monitor_id);
-    apply_fullscreen(ctx, monitor_id);
-    place_overlay(ctx, monitor_id);
-```
-In `restack`:
-```rust
-    let mut tiled_stack = Vec::new();
-    let mut floating_stack = Vec::new();
-    let mut fullscreen_stack = Vec::new();
-    if let Some(m) = ctx.g().monitor(monitor_id) {
-        for &win in &m.stack {
-            if let Some(c) = ctx.client(win) {
-                if c.is_visible_on_tags(selected_tags) {
-                    if c.is_true_fullscreen() {
-                        fullscreen_stack.push(win);
-                    } else if c.is_floating {
-                        floating_stack.push(win);
-                    } else {
-                        tiled_stack.push(win);
-                    }
-                }
-            }
-        }
-    }
-```
-And replace the `selected_window` logic to handle if it's in `fullscreen_stack`:
-Wait, the `selected_window` logic in `restack` currently only raises it within its own layer (`floating_stack` or `tiled_stack`).
-```rust
-    if let Some(idx) = fullscreen_stack
-        .iter()
-        .position(|&win| win == selected_window)
-    {
-        let selected = fullscreen_stack.remove(idx);
-        fullscreen_stack.push(selected);
-    } else if let Some(idx) = floating_stack
-        .iter()
-        .position(|&win| win == selected_window)
-    {
-        let selected = floating_stack.remove(idx);
-        floating_stack.push(selected);
-    } else {
-        // ... tiled stack handling ...
-```
-And then:
-```rust
-    let mut stack = tiled_stack;
-    stack.push(bar_win);
-    stack.extend(floating_stack);
-    stack.extend(fullscreen_stack);
-    ctx.restack(&stack);
-```
-
-Let's double check `WaylandState::fullscreen_request`.
-Does it handle unfullscreen?
-```rust
-    fn unfullscreen_request(&mut self, surface: ToplevelSurface) {
-        if let Some(win) = self.window_id_for_toplevel(&surface) {
-            if let Some(g) = self.globals_mut() {
-                if let Some(client) = g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
-                    client.is_fullscreen = false;
-                }
-                g.space_dirty = true;
-                g.layout_dirty = true;
-                if let Some(mon) = g.selected_monitor_mut_opt() {
-                    if mon.fullscreen == Some(win) {
-                        mon.fullscreen = None;
-                    }

-            }
-        }

-Wait, what if `client.is_fullscreen` is toggled off? Does the layout engine automatically resize it back to the tiled or floating geometry?
-Yes, on the next `arrange()` pass, `is_true_fullscreen()` will be false. So `apply_fullscreen` will skip it. `run_layout` will pick it up (if tiled), or `float_left` will handle it (if floating). Wait, floating windows need to be resized back to their floating geometry! `float_left` doesn't resize floating windows, it only applies snap position!
-If a Wayland window was floating, and was fullscreened, it gets resized to `mon_rect`. When it is unfullscreened, who resizes it back to its floating geometry?
-Ah! `save_floating` saves `c.float_geo = c.geo`. But wait, if it was fullscreened, `WaylandState::fullscreen_request` DOES NOT save the floating geometry or border width.
-If a floating window goes fullscreen, and then unfullscreen, we need to restore its geometry.
-
-If we look at `set_fullscreen_x11`:
-```rust
-        ctx_x11.core.g.clients.save_border_width(win);
-
-        if !is_fake_fs {
-            // Remove the border.
-            if let Some(c) = ctx_x11.core.g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
-                c.border_width = 0;
-            }
-...
-    } else if !fullscreen && is_fs {
-...
-        ctx_x11.core.g.clients.restore_border_width(win);
-
-        if !is_fake_fs {
-            // Snap back to the geometry that was stored before going fullscreen.
-            let mut wmctx = WmCtx::X11(ctx_x11.reborrow());
-            wmctx.resize_client(win, old_geo);
-            arrange(&mut wmctx, Some(monitor_id));
-        }
-```
-
-We need to make Wayland do the same thing! Or at least, handle the state transitions properly.
-Wait, can we centralize fullscreen toggling in a helper function? We have `set_fullscreen_x11` which is X11 specific.
-For Wayland, the compositor calls `fullscreen_request`.
-```rust
-    fn fullscreen_request(
-        &mut self,
-        surface: ToplevelSurface,
-        mut _output: Option<smithay::reexports::wayland_server::protocol::wl_output::WlOutput>,
-    ) {
-        if let Some(win) = self.window_id_for_toplevel(&surface) {
-            if let Some(g) = self.globals_mut() {
-                if let Some(client) = g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
-                    if !client.is_fullscreen {
-                        client.is_fullscreen = true;
-                        g.clients.save_border_width(win);
-                        client.border_width = 0;
-                        client.old_geo = client.geo; // save current geometry
-                    }
-                }
-                g.space_dirty = true;
-                g.layout_dirty = true;
-                if let Some(mon) = g.selected_monitor_mut_opt() {
-                    mon.fullscreen = Some(win);
-                }
-            }
-        }
-```
-And `unfullscreen_request`:
-```rust
-    fn unfullscreen_request(&mut self, surface: ToplevelSurface) {
-        if let Some(win) = self.window_id_for_toplevel(&surface) {
-            if let Some(g) = self.globals_mut() {
-                if let Some(client) = g.clients.get_mut(&win) {
-                    if client.is_fullscreen {
-                        client.is_fullscreen = false;
-                        g.clients.restore_border_width(win);
-                        // restore geometry for Wayland
-                        client.geo = client.old_geo; // but we need to tell compositor to resize
-                    }
-                }
-                g.space_dirty = true;
-                g.layout_dirty = true;
-...
-```
-Wait, if we just set `client.geo = client.old_geo`, the compositor will sync space from globals, but does it send a configure request? `WaylandState::sync_space_from_globals` does `self.resize_window` internally or similar.
-Wait, `sync_space_from_globals` maps it using `g.clients.get(&marker.id).geo`.
-
-Let's test this out.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix: Ensure proper fullscreen rendering without borders

- Exclude true fullscreen windows from tiling calculations in `Client::is_tiled`.
- Add `apply_fullscreen` helper in `arrange_monitor` to resize fullscreen windows to the entire monitor.
- Update `apply_border_widths` to correctly strip borders from true fullscreen windows.
- In `restack`, push true fullscreen windows to a new `fullscreen_stack` positioned above `bar_win` and `floating_stack`, guaranteeing they obscure everything else on screen.
