Hi,
i tried to keep my splashscreen always on top; i used $window->set_keep_above(TRUE);, but other windows can still be above it
P.S. if it matters, i'm using WinXP Home SP2 |

As a user, programs that are designed like that piss me off. I dislike not being able to do something else while I'm waiting for the program to load because of an immovable splash screen blocking my view.

If i would make this for a program that takes longer to load, i wouldn't keep it always on top and i would show it in the taskbar but it's only some testing thing |

Hi Thomas,
If you check the latest version of the manual at:
http://php-gtk2.de/manual/en/html/gtk/gtk.gtkwindow.method.set_keep_above.html
You'll see there are no guarantees with this method if you're running on MS-Windows.

Hi Thomas,
Additionally, you can try setting a type hint for the splashscreen window. This will let Windows know what you intend the window to be used for.
| Code: | $splash = new GtkWindow();
$splash->set_type_hint(Gdk::WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN); |

Thanks for your replys.
@ron_t: Yeah, i read that, but i thought there could be something else that works
@scott: Unfortunately it had the same effect as $window->set_keep_above(TRUE);  But Thanks for your help |
