systemWindow

Type

property

Summary

Makes a window float above all running applications.

Syntax

set the systemWindow of <stack> to {true | false}

Description

Use the systemWindow property to create a stack that can be used as a systemwide utility, available in all applications.

The systemWindow property determines the window's layer. If the systemWindow is true, the window floats above all running applications, no matter which application is active.

A stack whose systemWindow property is true has the same appearance as a palette.

On Mac OS systems, the systemWindow property has no effect.

note

The setting of this property determines whether the stack's decorations property includes "system".

Examples

set the systemWindow of stack "Magnifier" to true

set the systemWindow of the target to false
