Description

Hello! Would you consider accepting an implementation for a Toast widget? Per my understanding it would be possible to implement one relatively easy using the new overlay API, but my experience with iced is 2000 lines of "iced code".

I could use one in my application to display some messages/errors and I'd be glad to do the implementation myself if you could guide me a bit through the process with a series of bullet points of what needs to be done.

Thanks!

Research direction
The issue suggests implementing a Toast widget using iced's overlay API. First, examine the existing overlay implementation in the iced codebase (e.g., `widget/overlay.rs`). Then, look at examples of similar popup widgets in the repository for patterns. The implementation should handle positioning, auto dismiss, and styling. The user may also want to review the Android Toast documentation for UX references. After code changes, ensure the widget integrates smoothly with existing layout and event handling.
