OnTopper

Whether you are monitoring a certain program or perhaps want to watch a movie while doing other monotonous tasks on your computer, sometimes you need an open window to be on top of all applications. As the name suggests, OnTopper is a tiny utility designed to help you place the desired window on top of all others.

The setup is a quick operation that does not require any special attention on your part. Upon launch, you are welcomed by a rather small window from which you can browse through a menu to find the app or process to set on top. On the plus size, the app comes with a search option so you can consider finding the item you are interested in this way.

Once you find the one you need, use the Set This button on the right to set it on top. The process can be easily reversed using the Unset Top button located in the same place. According to the developer, you should refrain from placing non-windowed processes on top and he highly recommends not messing with certain processes, such as the svchost, for instance.

The app could use more functions, such as setting transparency for the window on top, resizing it to a comfortable dimension or perhaps, locking it in one location on your desktop, just to mention a few.

The program can be especially beneficial for Windows 10 where you do not have the possibility to set a particular window on top. In fact, for Win10, you can solely arrange windows in cascade tiles, but what this does is make all open tabs share the same screen space.

In the eventuality that you are working with multiple documents or applications at the same time and you need to have the main one always on top so that you can access it conveniently each time, then perhaps OnTopper might be worth a try.
