Always Show App Below Others Mac Back Windows

Sep 05, 2018  For less than 1/4 the price of Windows plus the price of the application you need to run, you can run it on your Mac. For the odd app out, this is a total no-brainer; and it's fairly easy to do. If you want to make sure your app works with CrossOver before you give it a shot, you can always. Mar 29, 2010  To do this, download Always on Top (link below), and unzip the file. Once you’ve launched it, simply select the window you want to keep on top and press Ctrl+Space. This program will now stay in front, even when it is not the active window. Here’s a screenshot of a Hotmail signup dialog in Chrome with Notepad kept on top. If by 'going crazy' you mean that each window keeps stealing focus from the other, TopMost will not solve the problem. Instead, try: CalledForm.Owner = CallerForm; CalledForm.Show; This will show the 'child' form without it stealing focus. The child form will also stay on top of its parent even if the parent is activated or focused.


May 16, 2015  The app is literally just a floating window. If you want to enter a URL you need to go to Location - Open Web URL and paste in the link. You can open a video or a file from here as well. One way Mac OS X differs from Windows is that when you close the last window, the app itself stays open. If you look at the Dock, you will still see a small dot underneath the app icon to indicate. Jun 14, 2020  Option #1: Use The Always on Top App. Always On Top is a small, third-party tool that automatically configures your desktop to keep a single-window on top of others. If you want to pin a Window to the top layer of your screen so that you can focus on that window, then this app. Jun 11, 2018  It takes full advantage of most Mac Retina displays, and it gives you the maximum working space. It also diminishes distractions by hiding the Dock and the status bar. If this is a look you like, you can follow the steps below to make sure some applications always open in full-screen mode on your Mac. Step 1: Enabling Resume.

I've noticed for some time that many (if not all) application windows that start new processes/create new windows end up not displaying those windows because they appear 'behind' (beneath/below) the main app window. I'm hoping this is due to a system setting or preference that I'm not configuring correctly.

As a new Mac / OS X user, it's really frustrating (not to mention terribly confusing!) when I make a menu selection in an app, or double-click an archive file in Finder, or anything else that opens a new window, only to see nothing happen! Later, when I'm trying to figure out why I can't continue or do something new, or wonder why the processor usage is up around 45% for no apparent reason, I suddenly (accidentally) find that the new window has actually opened, but only appears beneath whichever window was active at the time.

This is inconsistent but generally repeatable. It happens all the time when trying to install apps in the Finder (for example, when double-clicking a dmg file, the little icon in the Finder window does its animation, but no app install window is visible unless I minimise all the other windows on that desktop). It also happens when opening ZIP or other archive files in the Finder (using BetterZip as an example), and in nearly every app I've tried that brings up a new pane - DevonThinkPro, Activity Monitor, Photoshop CS6, and so on - the pane seems not to appear, but in fact has been opened, just hidden by the main app window.


This happens regardless of whether or not multiple desktops are enabled - that was one of the first things I tried to see if I could figure out why this keeps randomly happening.


Interestingly, apps like Outlook, Transmission, and Chrome generally don't have the same problem - ever. So they are doing something that other apps don't, I just don't know what!


Is there a system setting that I've overlooked, that might help this frustrating and annoying problem?


I should note (to hopefully save some time an effort) that it's not just this laptop. I had the opportunity this afternoon to look at about a dozen Macbook Pros, (including the sensational retina model!), Macbook Airs, and iMacs at a Dick Smith store (where I bought this MBP last week). I tried playing around with Finder (and the few other default installed apps), and exactly the same thing happened with those apps. The Apple specialist at the store was stumped, especially when I showed him the problem on all the machines in the store, so he asked me to describe the problem here and let him know if there's any answer.


So I'll be really interested to see if there is something stupid I'm doing (or not doing!) that might be able to help other people in the same situation.


Any help, suggestions, or advice would be most welcome!

P.S. I should also note that this exact same thing happens from time to time on Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on my desktop, and in that case it's usually (but not always) related to the start bar settings. Microsoft has no idea, nor do any of their MVPs, so it's definitely something unusual, and it seems to be common to both OSes. Just FYI...
