    • The current state is super early alpha and APIs are about a change.
    • 🏁 The main goal of this rewrite is to not affect fullscreen flags and fitsSystemWindows flags. Full control is on the developers side. The library should automatically detect insets and work as a transparent view as slider inside the DrawerLayout
