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 wrote:

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 ?

"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

Hi, this might help: https://askubuntu.com/questions/445529/how-can-i-have-an-application-automat...

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

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