# layout.overlay

Controls drawn over a photo or video, like the arrows in a dialog.media: the buttons inside get a translucent dark backing so they read on any image

Component: [`<Layout>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/layout.md) · Renders: `<div>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Layout intent="layout.overlay">
  …
</Layout>
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| Controls drawn over a photo or video, like the arrows in a dialog.media: the buttons inside get a translucent dark backing so they read on any image | `layout.overlay` (this page) |
| Controls on the page itself | [`layout.actions`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/layout/actions.md) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How layout.overlay resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.

- [`arrange.stack`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md#arrange-stack) — Children in a column, free to shrink inside a row or grid

  ```
  flex min-w-0 flex-col
  ```

- `layout.overlay` (this page) — Controls drawn over a photo or video, like the arrows in a dialog.media: the buttons inside get a translucent dark backing so they read on any image

  ```
  z-10 [&>button]:bg-black/45 [&>button]:text-white
  [&>button]:backdrop-blur-sm [&>button:hover]:bg-black/65
  ```
