Make A Window Stay on Top of Other Windows, Even After Losing Focus

Sometimes its useful if we can make a window stay on top of other window elements. Be it a program like the calculator or a game window etc. Here are some tools which will let you control a window to keep it at top always even if it loses focus.

 1. DeskPins – Pin A Window to Stay on Top


DeskPins can be used to make any application topmost, that is, to keep it above all other windows. Just grab a pin from the DeskPins icon in the system notification area (a.k.a. taskbar tray) and click on any window. This functionality is identical to the "Always on Top" setting found in some programs.




With DeskPins you can add this feature to any program! Now, if you have a particular application that you want to keep it always on top at all time, instead of activating the deskpins everytime, you can create an Autopin rule such that the application is automatically pin to the desktop each time it is launched.

2. PowerMenu – Add Useful Options to Window Controls incl. Always on Top


PowerMenu is a small application that some extra menu items to the windows control menu in addition to the standard "Close", "Maximize", etc options. The extra menus are: Always On Top, Transparency and Minimize To Tray.You can choose to keep an app "always on top," meaning that no matter what else you do, you’re still going to see that window. 


You can also add transparency to windows, letting you keep an eye on them while seeing what’s behind them as well. Assign a priority to tasks, to decide which applications get all the horsepower and which need to just sit down and wait their turn. And then there’s the ever-popular "minimize to tray", which lets you keep an app running but gets it out of your face.
