How to make QuickTime "Always on Top"

Was browsing the Discussions trying to figure out how to make QuickTime 7.1.3 "Always on Top" on Windows XP, but judging by the unresolved threads I gather Apple forgot to include that option.
Anyway, I've just discovered a free download that allows you to get around this problem: HELDUP. It creates a tray icon that you can click and drag onto QT (or any open program) to make it topmost/always on top.

Thank you!!
I can't believe that Apple would "forget" a stay on top of windows feature.
It has been driving me mad.
...Apple, specifically, QT developers, are you listening?

How to make menus always on top (Z-order)?

I searched the forums and see messages about using JLayeredPane for building GUIs that can have the Z-order of components controlled. Has anyone done that or know if you can for menus? I have a problem where the menus are displayed behind some log windows (JPanels) but I need to make sure they come up on top. Can anyone help me on how?

Thank you!!

Help!!! How to make quicktime plugin do not display on top of the web page?

Any one knows how to make quicktime plugin do not display on top of the web page??? I've tried to change the zIndex property using javascript, but it doesn't work.
Because we have some widgets which are required to be moved to anywhere on the page, we use iframe to implement that, so it can display on top of quicktime plugin, but the plugin flickers sometimes when we do some operation on the widget which is on top of it.
Anyone can helps me? Thanks in advance!!!

Check the docs. Trent is usually very thorough in his
instructions.
Hint: I haven't studied it but it probably involves modifying
one of DW's
built-in Behaviors.

How to keep window always on top?

I use afloat to keep most of the window always on top but it doesn't work for some apps like excel, textwrangler etc...
How can I make excel, textwrangler etc.. to stay on top even if I focus on some other apps?

AFAIK, you can't. When you change focus the app assumes you want to use it.

How to make Windows stay on top

Hi all
I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a window "Stay on top"
Sometimes when you are copying information from one window to the next you would like one "primary data entry window" stay on top, and a secondary window not overshadow the first when made active. This way you only see the part of the window that you are interested in copying.
Some programs like skype allow you to have the option as "always on top", but I was wondering if Tiger had the same feature for it's windows?
The other way around this problem is to re-size the secondary window, but I was hoping someone could tell me a way to keep a designated window as "always on top"
thanks in advance

I think perhaps, that the closest you'll get to it, is by using the 'New Tab'
feature in File, where you can have several windows with quick access available while browsing.

In Finder, I click on a movie and it open Quicktime but it never play until I click play button. How to make it automatically play?

Hi William,
Quicktime 10 is a component of Mountain Lion.
You should see it in the Applications folder.
If not, do a search for Quicktime in Spotlight.
If you can't find it, you may need to reinstall Mountain Lion.
OS X Mountain Lion: Erase and reinstall OS X
I hope this information helps ....

How to make imsges overlay on top of a web page

Can anyone tell me how to make an image overlay on top of a
web page when the thumbnail is hovered over?
Ideally the image would be a bit transparent so that the web
page behind it can still be seen but this is not essential.

Option to make QT "always on top"?

I multitask with multiple windows open, but enjoy having video play while I am working or surfing. Is there a way to keep QT always on top of other windows? Thanks in advance.

No, not in Quicktime. But,you can play your videos in iTunes and the videos will play on top of everything on the screen.

Awesome window manager: How to keep application always on top

Is it possible to keep media player applications always on top ?
Following is my current configuration.
{ rule = { class = "Vlc" },
properties = { floating = true, ontop = true } }
This is working fine whenever I start application. But problem is, if I go to full screen and come back, ontop flag is unset.
Is there anyway to fix this ?

shmibs wrote:
you could probably do something like
client.connect_signal("property::fullscreen", function(c)
if c.class == "mplayer" then
c.ontop = true
end
end)
i haven't tested this, though, so don't be surprised when it fails
This is working partially. ie, VLC is keeping ontop propery, but video is not going full screen.

Drag/drop import - how to make it always work?

HI
Sometimes drag and drop import will work
(Finder to Project pane, all OSX)
Sometimes it doesn't, as in sometimes the green plus sign appears, sometimes it doesnee
This irregularity seems to be when visually dragging and dropping, but also when App switching with Apple Tab, which works less often.
Is there any logic behind this?
Is there a way to make it always work?

Ah
I think it is actually an Apple App switcher thing.
So if the finder window does noy cover the After Effects Project window, it works, but if you have to use the app switcher, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I don't think it is a file type issue, so much as a live application issue, or maybe GPU related.
It's a weird thing, not that important, but it does limit where you can and can't drag from.

Need to make JFrame Always on top.

I have the main application window(JFrame).It in turn creates many JFrames , i want the newly created JFrames to be set as ALWAYS_ON_TOP , ie even if i click on the the main window,the new JFrames should be always on top similar to Yahoo messenger and MSN messenger.
Actually i don't want the functionality of "ALWAYS_ON_TOP" with JDialog or JInternalFrame,as both of them will ultimately have their parents as the main JFrame window.
I want this functionality with JFrames that are created from the main JFrame window.
Actually i am floating some components of my main JFrame window for which i create a new JFrame window and place that floated component.
Now this floating JFrame is independent of the main JFrame window ,but i want to set "always on top" for the floating JFrame windows similar to the Yahoo and MSN messengers.

Try this code. It should be work on all windows which are inherited from java.awt.Window
* Call this from class consructor
public void initialize() {
TopThread top = new TopThread();
top.start();
* Keep JWindow on top (inner class)
class TopThread extends Thread {
public void run() {
while(true) {
toFront();
* Let 10 milliseconds for other code to execute
try {
Thread.sleep(10);
catch(Exception e) {
// Nothing to do

How to make quicktime movie export interactive.

I've keynote 09 presentation that has images and videos inserted into it. I need to share this people across on internet. I've created quicktime .mov file for this. My file size comes roughly around 500MB. Everything is fine, only problem I see is when I play quicktime file on my mac mini it is interactive, so I click on mouse and it moves to next text or next slide. Whereas same file when I run on my Windows 7 machine it just keeps flying thru it without any interaction from user. Same thing happesn when I try to play quicktime file uploaded on vimeo or smugmug.com, file just flies thru all slides without any user interaction.
Is there a way where I can make my slideshow to be interactive ?
thanks
-mj

The problem probably is because you are opening the QT movie with Windows Media Player
Solution
Download Quicktime player to your windows 7 PC
Then right click the QT movie you made from keynote and select 'open with'
Then select quicktime (the QT player downloaded)
Hope that helps
