ALWAYS ON TOP request

Post by *gridsleep »

I love TC. It's the second program I install in any new build after anti-virus. It is the most used program. I've been using it since Windows 3 it feels like.

:idea: I would like TC to have an option to Always Be On Top. There are times I am comparing something in a program or browser to something in a directory and I would like TC to stay on top especially when I am scrolling or leafing or otherwise examining the other programs. Having to keep bringing TC to the front to do whatever work is at hand is annoying. Always On Top like Task Manager and other such programs would be very handy. Other than that, TC is just frigging perfect. Thanks for all the hard work. :D :D :D :D :D :D

Rather than implementing such feature in every software, it's makes much more sense to use a 3rd-party software that can set any window always-on-top. Actually such a function is the OS's (or window manager's) job, but MS never bothered to implement it.

I use my own AutoIt script running in the background because I didn't find a software that was customizable enough to fit my needs (primarily keyboard shortcut). If anyone is interested in that script, feel free to ask.

Code: Select all

WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, Toggle, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
This AHK script toggles TC's Always On Top state.

Thank you for the replies, suggestions and links. I did not get any notification in my email about them; I just checked and notification was enabled. Curious.
