Always-on-top toggle button in title bar?

Is it possible to put an always on top toggle button in the title bar of windows as you can with, for example, the rollup function.

I have looked in the OB GUI config window under the appearance tab and it's not an option there so it's probably not possible.

Just wondering if anyone knew another way around it - maybe it can be done through the config files manually?

If not, I'll persevere with the layers functions in the title bar right click menu

Thanks

Brian

It is indeed on the Appearance tab:
D: Omnipresent (On all desktops)

Always-on-top != Omnipresent

briantm wants alternative way of placing certain windows on top layer, I think...

@ op

its not possible with a button but you can define a rule in the rc.xml for a certain app if thats what you need

Omnipresent is for showing the window on all desktops.
It doesn't fix the window above the others, like the "layer way" does.

Oops!, got beaten to it!

Thanks for the link BTW!

briantm-

nice suggestion; i just added:

<action name="ToggleAlwaysOnTop"/>

to the context section of shade in the rc.xml. kind of nifty.

i do also have it bound to super+a. very nice when using things like skype.

cheers and thanks for the idea to add it to shade.

For what it's worth, I have the following in my rc.xml, which makes the omnipresent button serve as an always-on-top button.

    <context name="AllDesktops">
      <mousebind button="Left" action="Press">
        <action name="Focus"/>
        <action name="Raise"/>
        <action name="Unshade"/>
      </mousebind>
      <mousebind button="Left" action="Click">
       <action name="ToggleAlwaysOnTop"/>
      </mousebind>
    </context>

Nice idea,

    <context name="AllDesktops">
      <mousebind button="Left" action="Click">
        <action name="ToggleOmnipresent"/>
       <action name="ToggleAlwaysOnTop"/>
      </mousebind>
    </context>

so,  the button toggle to show status, Always on top and All desktops.
