Overlay Keeb Flutter Plugin

• Above Keyboard Presentation: Designed to appear above the soft keyboard without dismissing it.
• Configurable Height: The height of the overlay adjust wrt to height keyboard height.
• Slide Animations: Smooth slide-in and slide-out animations for the overlay window (configurable via native Android animations).

  } catch (e, stackTrace) {
    developer.log('--- OVERLAY_UI.DART: EXCEPTION ---', name: 'MyOverlayDartLog', error: e, stackTrace: stackTrace);
  }

      home: OverlayContent(), // Your main overlay widget
    );
  }
