Hi I did acquaint myself with layouts. However, I had what might appear some conflicting suggestions. One was to use the application.Standlone directly instead of windows.Desktop. In that scenario I could not see how to control the elements and thus my question.
I have since chosen to add the window.Desktop and put the windows inside it. This then prevents the overlaying on the toolbar and I then applied layouts and decorations to the desktop which worked fine. Part of the reason for the questions is not so much how to do things but to try and learn best practices. There are always ways to hack things together but in my opinion it is better to try to understand how things were designed to be used. So I will try and word my questions more precisely in the future.
