Jikaru Wrote:Some programs specify their zorder I believe. Djinn I think your right about the layer ordering, I swear there are four levels. I have a program now that has those exact four options...actually now that I look it has five options for levels...It's Rainmeter on XP and the Enigma sidebar options include:
Always Top
Top
Normal
Bottom
Desktop
And they stay at these levels...so I'm sure somehow you can tell Xion where to be if specified.
Actually all they're doing is just forcing themselves to the top/bottom using a Timer. Even so much so that it causes a bug. Set it to 'Stay Topmost' now move it over the Task bar, click the taskbar to bring it to the front and a couple of ms later, you'll see rainmeter pop to the top. Now try right clicking on rainmenter while its in this mode. The menu will display and shortly after rainlender will move in front of the menu so you can't see it!
As I've said before, there is no application definable zorder. Its user customizeable. I will probably end up doing something similar for Xion, by forcing itself where it needs to be, however its hacky as Windows doesn't actually support this.
As for staying on the Desktop, that's fairly easy, you just set your window's parent to be the Desktop.
