After the update the FxSound control window stays always on top of all other aplications. I cannot find a way to change this option. Is this an option available with donation? ---

We implemented always on top for mini mode as per a user request. [Feature Request, systray output toggle - General Discussion - FxSound](https://forum.fxsound.com/t/feature-request-systray-output-toggle/5209) The expanded view of FxSound is not always on top. ---

Yeah, I like editing posts 5,000 times. Sorry. I use a utility called [WindowManager](https://www.desksoft.com/WindowManager.htm) to handle these things (i.e. essentially “undo” the always-on-top behavior). You can also use something like [NirCmd](https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html) to run: “nircmd.exe win settopmost process FxSound.exe 0” and achieve the same effect. So, you can either use a kludge like that, or use expanded mode, because one FxSound user has a trackball. ---

Anyway you can just make this an easy option to set on or off. ---

Like the user above me says, would it be possible to add an option to change this… maybe on or off. I love having FxSound minimized on my other screen but very annoying when I move another window like a video over on the other screen but FxSound stays on top of it. Thanks for this fantastic tool, made my audio soooo much better! \<3 ---

Yes, we can consider providing an option to disable always on top. ---

I have implemented the menu option to enable/disable always on top. The feature will be available soon in the next release. ---
