DeskPins from Elias Fotinis is a freeware to make any Windows application always on top, i.e., to keep it above all other windows. Once launched DeskPins stays in the system notification area (systray). Just grab a pin from the DeskPins icon and click on any window to make it topmost.
DeskPins offers following features.
- Unlimited number of pins.
- Wildcard-based automatic pin support.
- Global hotkeys.
You can enter pin mode in several ways:
- by clicking on the DeskPins icon in the systray.
- by right-clicking on the DeskPins icon in the systray and selecting "Enter pin mode" from the menu.
- via a hotkey; the default assignment is Ctrl-F11
Further, you can configure DeskPins to automatically pin certain windows as soon as they are created, by adding auto-pin rules. Every time a window is created, DeskPins will check auto-pin rules which consists of two parameters: a title and a class. Both parameters, explained below, support wild-card style (* and ?).
Title
The window title is displayed on its caption. When a rule is being created based on the window title, you should try to specify the part of the title that stays the same. Suppose, we create a rule for Notepad. The window's title will be "Untitled - Notepad" if no file is open, or "filename - Notepad" otherwise. So to cover both cases rule may for title may be like "* - Notepad", where the * wildcard represents any possible combination of characters.
Class
The window class can be used to easily identify windows. It is specified when a window is created and remains unchanged until it is closed. For example, all Notepad windows have the same class name of "Notepad". So, another way to identify these windows would be to specify their class name, without worrying about the title. However, it is recommended to specify both the class name and the window title.
