Major improvements to floating window overlay:
Architecture:
- Clean client-server model: main app as GPS backend, overlay as display client
- Single GPS stream eliminates resource conflicts and sync issues
- Real-time data push: speed, heading, theme, and unit changes sync instantly
Functionality:
- Proper system screen resolution detection and size synchronization
- Main app calculates overlay size, shares exact dimensions with overlay
- Navigation area tap toggles overlay (show/close), long-press always closes
- Comprehensive debug metrics for troubleshooting
Technical fixes:
- Eliminated duplicate GPS streams for better battery life
- Fixed size calculation mismatches between main app and overlay
- Proper overlay state tracking with _isOverlayActive boolean
- Reverted to withOpacity() per NOTES.txt (simpler than Color.fromARGB)
Debug metrics include:
- Creation/destruction signals with 🟢/🔴 indicators
- Real-time data updates with 📡/📤 send/receive tracking
- Window sizing info with 📐 dimensions and font calculations
- User interaction feedback with 🖱️ tap/long-press detection
This implementation provides reliable floating window functionality
with proper data synchronization and efficient resource usage.
