Should I post a trac request instead?

What would You think on different approach?
Instead of making rss control to remember position across all windows - let's add global overlay dialog. It would replace VideoOverlay+MusicOverlay. You would have total control on visibility of this overlay. Adding rss control to that overlay would have same effect as proposed feature and we wouldn't have problems like issue pointed by Jezz_X in trac ticket.
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forums before posting.
Do NOT e-mail Team-XBMC members asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting, make sure you read this first

This is already possible with custom window with type dialog. Just set the visibility for the whole dialog to the windows that you want or don't want and use zorder to determine if it should be on top of anything.

Global overlay would be very good.
@Big_Noid
But you would have to open the custom window and it would have focus, wouldn't it? Global overlay is not possible with custom windows or am I missing something?

I used it to make test code that you can drop in any skin as attachment to a trac ticket. Never thought about using it for skin furniture :o

I still like the idea of a proper 'global overlay' though and maybe while we're at it a 'global underlay' (seeing as a dialog can't be displayed below a window) that could be used for fanart/background image?
