This feature will allow people to take full advantage of the screen space (not having lost space at the top for the island, or the island hovering windows) while using the Island mode offering a compact view to interact with the shell.

### Compositor(s)

All compositors

### If Other, please specify

Research direction

Start by locating the Island Mode settings and the existing autohide behavior for standard bars. Trace how hover detection and compositor-specific shell behavior are handled, then verify that the new setting makes the Island appear when hovering at the top across all supported compositors.
