Keep application on top

Does anyone know how to keep a Java application always on top in a window environment ? And also how to add the application to window toolbar at the bottom of the screen ?
Thanks
Jay

Outside of Java - for any app - you can do this: http://www.lovemusiclovedance.com/alwaysontop.htm
I've heard of some Pure java method calls involving a series of calls - not sure what they are - perhaps something like what is described at: http://home-1.tiscali.nl/~bmc88/java/sbook/0115.html

How to keep new applications on top within windows 8.1 desktop

In previous Window versions when one opened applications such as word, excel or browser or snipping tool these applications stayed on top.
However, in windows 8.1 now when ne application is openned, one needs to minize other applications before starting to use it. This is very non productive use of time and prevents swtiching between dpendent application, open version of documents, and
images.
Please provide suggestions how to configure the system to enable latest application on top.
Thank you.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, you can keep new applications on top of all other windows on your desktop, even while you're working in other programs.
I would like to suggest you restoring healthy by using this command: dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth first.
Meanwhile, please ask on the following forum. This is where the Windows 8.1 experts answer questions.

HT2509 Despite what this article states, Apple support told me not to try to remove any fonts as it could cause other possibly serious problems. Is there a program which can be safely installed which will keep at the top of the font list those fonts whic

An article in the New York Times yesterday told how to remove unwanted fonts from the Font Book. I followed its instructions (the same as those on the webpage "support.apple.com/kb/ht2509") and was NOT successful in removing fonts. Despite what the newspaper article and the web page stated, my attempts to remove fonts were unsuccessful. I use perhaps 15-20 of the hundreds and hundreds of fonts, and deleting those I don't use would make choosing a font a lot faster. I called support and was told not to try to remove any fonts which I myself had not added to the list(I have not added any) as doing so could cause significant problems elsewhere. The support tech suggested that there might be independent software programs which would keep at the top of the list those fonts I have used, which sure would speed up the process of selecting a font. Anyone know of such a program, or how to safely alter the font list Thanks.

I just spoke again to tech support and this time an answer was provided that works! Choose the font you want to use, drag it to the left, and a new "unnamed" folder will appear. Continue to drag into that folder fonts you want to use. You can click onto that folder to change its name. Then when using font book merely click on that folder to open it and select the font wanted. This tech rep also confirmed that you should NOT try to delete individual fonts as they are part of the basic operating system; he did confirm that the apple web page in parentheses above says otherwise, and will refer that to higher ups to see about removing or modifying that page.

How to keep screen on top of others

Hi there,
I'm not sure if this is posted already. If it is I apologise.
I have a question which is to do with keeping one screen on top. By this I mean that I would like to watch a movie (keeping this on top)
and at the same time I would like to maybe do my work, play another game or something that is multi-tasking.
I can't stagger the windows around the screen because the screen sizes are locked... so is it possible if I can keep one screen locked on top of another? instead of staggering them around the screen?
I hope my questions is easy to understand. I'm not usually good with technical terminology. Thank you in advance!
Kind Regards

Password keeper application

lost password keeper application after upgrading my bold 9700 with software version 6.0 bundle 2115. How do i get the application back. I tried using application from the desktop manager sofware but could not locate it

It would only be active and can be restored, if the bundle that you currently have has the same application in it.

How can I stick an accordion navigation MENU on top of a mobile scrolling page and make it work properly?
As I can't pin it, I keep it on top of the page with scroll effect 0.
It collapse, shows the menu buttons but doesn't close back once it reaches the anchorpoint.

Muse won't let you, at least not that I know of. You could find the class in the code that muse gives it position: fixed…I think. You could paste it into the head area of your page properties to override the class. I believe something like this would give you persistent nav bar, pinned at the very top, on mobile:
#youmuseclass {position: fixed;}
I wouldn't use any parallax on mobile either, the performance is terrible.

Applescript to keep application open

Gday & thanks for taking the time to read my message
Subject: Creating AppleScript To Keep Application Running & Minimize on Run
As per title, I need an AppleScript to do the following
- check if an application open
- if open, do nothing
- if not open, open application
- if application opened, minimize
So far I have the following
tell application "System Events"
    get name of every process whose name is "Evernote"
    if result is not {} then
         tell application "Evernote"
            quit
        end tell
    else
        tell application "Evernote"
            activate
        end tell
    end if
end tell
I run this script out of HAZEL. The script partially works but keeps quitting the application & reopening it
Configuration
- MacBookPro 15" Retina 16GB Ram
- OSX Yosemite 10.10.2
- Applescript Ver 2.4
Problems
- the script should not quit the application each time it runs
- no idea what the "minimize app" command is or where to place it in the script
Your help is most appreicated
Cheers!

Hi H,
This now works here in Yosemite (:
tell application "TextEdit"
if it is not running then
activate
else
tell window 1
if exists then set miniaturized to true
end tell
end if
end tell
As does my original workaround... though, unlike yours, that gives an error if TextEdit is running but no document has been chosen.
I am guessing a Mavericks update installed yesterday may have helped. Other mysterious small "bugs" in AppleScript appear to be gone now too.

Keep QT on top

Is it possible to keep QuickTime on top of other windows at all times?

You can turn off a preference in FCP's user prefs, to bring all windows to front on activation. That way only the windows you click on come in front of the DVD player.
But probably a better way to handle the problem is to use the tab+apple key to bounce back and forth between the two apps. Try that...
My book will work just fine in FCP 5, comes with a ton of media to work with, and will hone your skills I think.
Also Apple's Pro Training series is much the same, and are written well. I'm working now on a training DVD...

Keep app on top other applications

Hi friends, I need to provide an option in my JavaFx application to "keep the player on top" so it remains available on the screen even if you click on another application window. Any idea?

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.

Application to pin/keep windows on top?

Does anyone know an app that will keep/pin one (or multiple) window on top of currently open windows? Afloat doesn't seem to work for many apps, and quite often I need to have few different chat windows going while working on something else in full screen. I can't freaking believe something like this is so difficult to find in OS X world!
Thanks!

No one knows of such beast?

Keep window on top

There used to be a plugin called Afloat that woulkd let you keep a window on top of the others but I can't get it work in 10.10 Yosemite. Is there a new version or another similar program?

Not in QT Player, but here's a nifty trick using Stickies:
Launch Applications/Stickies, create a new note, then with that note active, select "Note > Floating Window".
Now locate the QT mov you wish to view and drag/drop it on the floating Sticky note. Stickies will ask you if you want to Copy or Alias the mov- select "Alias". This will create a pointer to the original mov (smaller) instead of copying it holus bolus into the sticky. Note if you move the original mov file, you'll break the alias.
Back in the sticky, drag the grab handle in the bottom right-hand corner to resize the note so you can see all the mov and the controller bar. For some reason, Stickies will scale a mov to fit a note on the X plane (horizontal) but not the Y plane (vertical) until it's at 100% size. It won't scale up from 100%.
If the floating sticky mov is too big at 100% for your display size, there are 2 possible workarounds:
a) In Stickies, make the mov note active and select "Note > Translucent Window". This will make the note (and the mov) "see through" so you can see other stuff underneath it, even while the mov plays, or;
b) If you have a QT Pro Key, open the mov in QT Player before you drag/drop into Stickies, set it to view at half size (or whatever) then "File > Save As" allowing dependencies. This will create a small reference mov that points to the original, maintaining the smaller viewing size (again, if you move the original, you'll break the reference). Now drag/drop that reference mov into the Sticky note as above and the mov will display at the smaller size.
Hope that all makes sense. No clue how you'd do something similar on Windows.

Keep Application Open, or Modifiers Active

I am creating an application that allows users to cycle and test through 1,000s of cursors. I want to make it so they can use the cursor for their actual activities without actually installing it. Just so they can decide if they want / don't want it. If it does / doesn't work for their needs.
My solution is hoping keeping the window on top so the cursor stays the same?
a
Is there a way to keep the cursor the same without keeping the window open. The window is small so it really isn't a big deal but it'd be nice.
Heres a screenshot: http://cl.ly/4H4I
Heres the code I used to change the cursor: [[[NSCursor alloc] initWithImage:theimage hotSpot:hotspot]set];

Disbales Keep Taskbar on top

hi,
I like my windows maximised, so I have set up Safari Beta on the XP2 to do such.
I have my taskbar appearance set to auto hide taskbar and keep the tasbar on top of other windows option..... However when Safari opens it prevents me from hovering over the taskbar and bringing it to front like every other windows application......If I then resize safari then maximise it again, it works. but not if it opens maximised.
rsp

I was unable to re-create your problem using XP2.
What are your taskbar appearance settings?
