If you have a way of getting that other window to slide in from the top, then you no longer have need for that window: just apply that method of getting the window to slide in to the alacritty window in the first place. But this just passes the buck: you still need to get that window to slide in from the top. XEmbed would allow you to embed the alacritty window in another window. The real point here is XEmbed is all wrong for this. I'd do this in C with Xlib if I were to do it myself - but a script with xdotool (using windowmove and/or windowsize commands) should readily do the job. In any case, I'd think it'd be a lot easier to make a program/script that opened alacritty just off screen and in a series of small moves just moved the window down onto the screen. Where did the developer suggest this? That's not in the link.
