Gnome has a "Always on Top" toggle for each window. I imagine there's a protocol for an application to set it by default but the OP's window manager might not implement it or there might be an incompatibility.
- Zardoz84 4mo agoPlasma/KDE always had it.
- blendergeek 4mo agoBut users do not want to have to toggle that for every PiP video they watch. Its why I am still on X11
- babypuncher 4mo agoI can't speak for Gnome, but KDE makes it pretty easy to create rules that apply automatically to any new window that meets whatever arbitrary criteria you set.
- kelnos 4mo agoThat's terrible. That's an "unbreak my software" preference. User's shouldn't have to mess with that; things should just work in ways they expect, out of the box.
- babypuncher 4mo agoI disagree. With how KDE handles this, I'm not at the mercy of the software vendor's whims on what windows stay on top and which ones don't. I have complete control through a standardized interface that can even be automated if I wish. Does it require a little more knowledge on the part of the user? Yes, but it's worth it because with that knowledge comes power.
- Vinnl 4mo agoGnome has the same problem, that's why this exists: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4691/pip-on-top/ https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4691/pip-on-top/
