Option to prevent "Always On Top" during Viewer fullscreen mode?

Post by gwengineering »

Whenever the UVNC (1.4.0.9) viewer goes into Full Screen mode, it sets the fullscreen window to "Always On Top", presumably so that other local windows won't get in its way. Seems unnecessary and inconvenient. Is there any way to disable this behavior? I.e. to let other local windows (e.g. Alt+Tab etc.) appear over the UVNC full screen viewer?

My workaround is an AutoHotKey command that toggles the Windows window "Always On Top" attribute.

Thanks!

Without the ontop, your local windows bar is over the remote.
Then you actual see the remote workspace with the local windows bar...not ideal.

To prevent this, full need to be implemented as a fullscreen over the workspace.
You will not longer have a 1:1 when the displays are the workspace is 20 pixels smaller.

Sorry, behaviour stay.
