Absolutely brilliant. If any of your programs doesn't have that icon in the top left corner, such as a browser, use the Alt+Space hot key!

4 Star since i think deskpins is simpler, and i still don't understand why my antivirus saying it's having malicious file.. But i like the feature to set transparency, minimize to tray(so not make my taskbar full), and set priority feature:)

Works well on the Windows 11 preview build. Easy to use and lightweight. Probably my favorite "window on top" program that I've tried. Recommended.

I was using Deskpins but since it's not updated it doesn't work properly. So I have downloaded this "MenuTools" but after downloading it from GitHub and scanning it with VitusTotal it shows :

"SecureAge APEX-Malicious-BitDefenderTheta-Gen:NN.ZexaF.34282.suW@ae3XXqdi-Cybereason Malicious.06d4b8-Cyren-W32/Trojan.CZUP-5834" https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/3fc6c21ad78d1bdbef8464b02fac7735ac2bc8b131063021afa037df617a258c/detection

False positives?

I don"t want to take risks so any info is welcomed. Thanks.
