Always on top - floating window

The open floating window (Ctrl+F11) immediately disappears into the background when I click on the main Logos window. This hinders the work greatly and is time-consuming. That's why I think it would be very important if there was a switch that keeps this floating window in the foreground. Especially if you only work with one screen and want to temporarily make a small tab larger. Dock this tab - with shortcut Ctrl+shift+F11, as usual. I think I'm definitely not the only one who would find this very useful???

Gute Idee...

Kurt Garbe

@Thomas danke für das Feedback, freue mich über möglichst viele Votings und hoffe, dass es beim Entwicklerteam ankommt und umgesetzt wird.

I hope that many voters will support this idea so that everyone can soon benefit from it.

Once this idea has been implemented, I think that opening and docking the floating window is best done with just one key like F11 e.g. used as an on/off switch.

I posted the German description of the idea in the German Forum: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/219126.aspx

@Kurt Garbe I recommend you use DeskPins (a free small utility program for Windows) that allows you to pin any Window on top so that if you click away to another app or window in the background, the pinned window still stays on top. You can always Alt+Tab back to the window you were working on before if you don't want to use this, but I find it very useful for a variety of occasions. Seems like this would be the perfect use case for it. The latest version is from 2015, but it still runs fine on current versions of Windows. If you've got a really simple app that still runs fine, there's no reason to update it or release bug-fixes. It really is tiny (103KB). You can download it from here the author's website: https://efotinis.neocities.org/deskpins/

@Rosie Perera Thanks for pointing out this workaround, and I've already tested it, but I dock the tab with shortcut Ctrl+shift+F11, and this shortcut uses the DeskPins program as the default for pinning, which cannot be changed. So I can't use it. But I have now discovered a better solution at Microsoft Powertoys that works well. But it doesn't replace the expectation of seeing the idea realized directly in Logos soon.

@Kurt Garbe Good to hear you found a better workaround.

If a function is not included in the program, you often accept it and are not bothered by the fact that the next time you click the window is gone again (in the background). But once the function is there, you won't want to be without it!

Important:
Logos remembers the sizes and positions of the windows, so it would be great if, with "Always on Top", these well-placed windows remained standing when you clicked on something else in the Logos screen.

Allow us to override Logos bias by attaching n - using the creation stories of Genesis as an example
Because of its reference to image, I prefer to use the Genesis 1 reference for the creation of mankind rather than Genesis 2.
