Is it possible to have some overlay/window for Sailfish OS to let apps run inside of it?

What I mean is some sort of patch that makes it possible to run any desired app in an overlay window

Neat idea, but I don't think you can do it just with any application; you need to specifically draw your application window to the overlay.

WTF is an overlay???
Install the app ScreenTapShot, and see what that app does.

patch in compositor can modify window property to overlay, then you can probably scale window as you want and move it to any position.
