+### Why is the border/focus ring showing up through semitransparent windows?
+
+Uncomment the `prefer-no-csd` setting at the [top level](./Configuration:-Miscellaneous.md) of the config.
+Niri will draw focus rings and borders *around* windows that agree to omit their client-side decorations.
+
+By default, focus ring and border are rendered as a solid background rectangle behind windows.
+That is, they will show up through semitransparent windows.
+This is because windows using client-side decorations can have an arbitrary shape.
+
+### Why is the Waybar pop-up menu showing behind windows?
+
+Set `"layer": "top"` in your Waybar config.
+
+Niri currently draws pop-up menus on the same layer as their parent surface.
+By default, Waybar is on the `bottom` layer, which is behind windows, so Waybar pop-up menus also show behind windows.
