More OnTop!

Sunday, November 9, 2003 by Magnus Knutsson | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I see a lot of nice WB skins here, and I would love to downlod them. But I don't. Why?
Because they don´t have an OnTop button.

The thing is I use my computer for work. Yes, thats true, I have to use my computer for a living..

While doing this I often have to have a small window opened in a big window. Without the OnTop function the small window just disappears, which is very iritating.

So please, put an OnTop button on all the nice skins!

A lot of people use computers for a living, you're not the only one >

And there are a lot of skins that have an On Top button, just keep looking

Maybe you could make one yourself

When I talked about more On Top buttons it was because I like the WB skins, I wasn't critizing..

A lot of people use computers for a living, you're not the only one


You don't say... But when do you make all those nice skins?

To tell the truth, I spend so much time making programs and macros and scripts just for fun, that I couldn't possible squeeze in skinning. As I said before, I have too make a living...

And why should I begin to make ugly skins when other persons make so beautiful. But with On Top buttons, please?

You're bordering on insulting the dedicated skinners here again. Skinners need to make a living too you know...

Anyway, I always have included always-on-top buttons in my skins, and I always will. You just have to look around for the right skins. Remember that the majority of skins here were made mainly for use on the author's computer, and have simply been shared with the rest of the site. Very few skinners make skins based on how other people use their machines.

In the WindowBlinds config click User Overrides then click advanced settings. A Titlebar Options window pops up. You can then use either the drop down menu in Double Click Action or the one in Right Click Action to set an action for Always On Top among several others.

Oh, I use a lot of skins by Adni and Chadamus with On Top button. And of course MetalX2 and Dinks, two of the best WB skins ever. They have something very few others have and that is elegance...thank you Grayhaze

But I am greedy, I want to have more beautiful skins that I can use in my work..
