jit.window always visible and on top regardless of app in the foreground ?
I would like to know wether it is possible that the Jitter video image displayed to the public during a show (on a secondary screen) stays always visible and on top, regardless of the application being in the foreground.
Some apps such as Reaper or FinalCut can do it. Can Max do it ?

@floating attribute if i remember correctly
With @floating 1, the window will disappear whenever another app is in the foreground.
in this case, i believe you'll want floating 0.
the window will still be visible even when you switch applications, although if the other application has a window at the same position, it will obscure the max window. no way around this that i'm aware of.
Rob, wouldn't it be cool if jit.window could also receive the "topmost 1" message that we can send to the thispatcher object to make a patcher window stay always on top? I guess we could use a patcher window in presentation mode with no title bar and use a jit.pwindow object inside it.
But isn't jit.pwindow less efficient than jit.window?
Thanks.
@floating 0 will work, indeed. Thanks. In that case I have no risk to put another window on top. I guess on complex system you would want some more secure option. Nicolas
With floating 0 and fullscreen 1 I believe there is no risk of an other app coming on top (except system/ OS warning dialogs)
Bump to my suggestion from 2014!
Rebump!!!
no, macos and windows still do not support what originally has been asked for. :)
