I want to like, block interaction with a window that I am keeping on top of other windows so I can see it but still click to stuff behind it.

It turns out mpv already has this implemented. https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/8949

Technically no windows or mac support (presumably it's possible there; dunno), but OP only asked for linux stuff so I'll close this

And then I could remove the title bar if I really don't want to interact with the app.

Seems like a nightmare if windows ever were to start unskippable ads on the desktop. Or ads in general for that matter.
