# Overlays

Creght supports two types of overlays: **Relative Overlay** and **Absolute Overlay**.

## Relative Overlay

A **Relative Overlay** floats around an element. It is commonly used for tooltips, dropdown menus, and similar UI patterns.

- To add a relative overlay:
1. Select any frame.
     ![image.png](https://fsb.huglight.cn/project/mtdDqMgsnYi/madIrIJaznK__image.png)
2. In the right panel, go to **Overlay → Add → Relative**.
- By default, the overlay size is **200 × 200px**, but you can resize it by dragging the edges.
- An overlay works like a regular container, meaning you can add any child elements inside it just as you would on the main canvas.

Example: A tooltip created with a relative overlay.

You can also find ready-to-use templates under **Insert → Overlay**.

## Absolute Overlay

An **Absolute Overlay** covers the entire page. It is typically used for modals, video players, or detail views.

Example: A video modal with a close button.

- To add an absolute overlay:
1. Select any frame.
2. In the right panel, go to **Overlay → Add → Absolute**.
- An absolute overlay includes a **fullscreen mask container** by default.
  - The mask has fixed width and height (fullscreen) and cannot be resized.
  - However, you can customize its background color.

## Relative vs. Absolute Overlay

| Feature | Relative Overlay | Absolute Overlay |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Position** | Floats around an element | Covers the entire page |
| **Typical Use Cases** | Tooltip, dropdown menu | Modal, video player, data details |
| **Default Size** | 200 × 200px (resizable) | Fullscreen (fixed) |
| **Resizable** | ✅ Yes (drag to adjust) | ❌ No (fixed fullscreen) |
| **Background Overlay** | Not included | ✅ Includes fullscreen mask (color customizable) |
| **How to Add** | Right panel → Overlay → Add → Relative | Right panel → Overlay → Add → Absolute |
