/g/ whats the hold up for Windows implementing the "always on top" right click option for all application windows that linux enviroments have had for a while now?
is it something difficult to add to their code or is there some patent on it
adding anything at all the windows is hard as fuck
that shit is a maze of spaghetti code built on a 20 year old system

There are various freeware tools that can add the functionality though. It can't be that difficult.

You can ask this aboyt any feature. Im still waiting for a dozen of these things since years. What the goddamn fuck are those lazy pajeets at ms even doing all day? Its been forever since windows had updates that actually did anything
Windows does have it in their api. Check MSDN for SetWindowPosition and look at the Z Order flags. I think -1 sets that window to always be ontop

SetWindowPos* whatever same shit

It is. You don't even need to look at pic related, you just have to try making your own theme with vista style builder for windows 7/8.1/10. The fucking graphical spaghetti is mindboggling.

struck a nerve, isac?
been using this tool since the article was released. it's great.

also DisplayFusion is a great tool to add lots to windows even if you don't have multiple displays. you still can't add to the context menu, but you can add a button to the title bar to toggle always on top, etc.
there's probably a registry key you can add for the context menu. i really hope windows eventually drops the registry entirely, though
>>55088584
what a terrible show
>>55088669
what do you mean by can't add to the context menu
>>55088689
display fusion won't let you change the right click context menu (it's called a context menu right?) of a program's titlebar for always on top/etc., but you can add buttons there and/or set keyboard shortcuts
>>55086301
There are 3rd party programs that do that, and also allow you to set transparency of windows. I think Windows has this implemented, there's just no control for it by default.
