hi, I would like the `lxtask` application (LXDE task manager) to open systematically in "always on top" mode : is it possible to do this in the `~/.Xresources` file ? otherwise, where can it be configured ? regards, lacsaP.

"Always on top" is a function of your window manager, so the answer to your question depends on your window manager.

I'm using OpenBox. I will take a look at his documentation. I am interested if you have the solution in hand or under elbow ;-) thanks for the track, regards, lacsaP
this can be done in things like bspwm and i3 ans that type of tiling wm , but as someone else’s said it’s a property of your wm not the app On Fri, 24 Mar 2023 at 10:25, lacsaP Patatetom <patatetom@gmail.com> wrote:

adding ``` <application name="lxtask"> <layer>above</layer> </application> ``` in the `<applications>...</applications>` node do the trick :-) regards, lacsaP.

Hi, for similar things I'm using scripts based on a combination of eval $(xdotool ... wmctrl ... I'm not using the "above" property, but I suspect it enables "always on top". I'm using it for several other tasks. The windows of some programs hide their title bars under a top panel when they are launched. One of my scripts automatically moves those programs below the top panel. Regards, Ralf
PS: I'm using my scripts based on eval $(xdotool ... wmctrl ... with the openbox WM (without a DE).

thank you for these ideas. I had started to try to do something with `wmctrl` but I want to find something else. regards, lacsaP.
