What is a modal?

[CryZe]

It seems like recent changes turned modals into essentially tooltips on at least Windows. I don't believe this was intended (unfocusable, no window borders), but maybe it's just not clear what a modal even is supposed to be.

By "modal" do you mean windows created with WindowLevel::Modal? If so, bear in mind that WindowLevel is only about the z-order, and doesn't (or at least, shouldn't according to the docs) affect borders or focus or anything else.

There was some discussion on #2042 about the cross-platform API and how it should map onto windows, but it's quite possible that we got something wrong.

Well it totally does on Windows. The code on master currently treats it 100% like a tooltip and makes it unfocusable, unclickable, unmovable and removes all decorations.

I was looking into some of this code recently and couldn't find any implementation beyond tooltips. So I was left with the impression that it isn't implemented, or at least isn't tested.

Maybe I missed something though. Do we have an example in Druid that shows modals in action?
