Godot embedded windows layer

When adding embedded windows, you might find that they always render over all of the other controls. This is because embedded windows are placed on layer 1024. ¹

To render controls over the embedded window, you need to add those controls to a CanvasLayer on layer 1025. Since you cannot set the CanvasLayer to this value in the inspector, you will have to write a script that sets the layer. ¹
