What is WindowTop?

WindowTop is a one-of-a-kind window manager tool that offers various sets of features, each of which can help to improve your daily multi-tasking work. It is extremely helpful when working with a lot of windows at the same time. The exclusive and supper innovative "Anchors" feature and the Always-on-Top feature can easily reduce things like doing ALT-TAB repeatedly.

WindowTop is the only app on the market that provides many productivity enhancement features in only 40MB installation (unlike PowerToys, which takes more than 500MB), and it even has a portable package that does not require any installation.

With WindowTop, you don't need to remember hotkeys! WindowTop comes with a toolbar that can even be integrated with the minimize button of most windows (when the mouse is above the minimize button, it can show the toolbar. You will need to enable it via settings)

The main features included are:

  • Always on Top - Set window always on top. You also have an option to turn it off when the window is maximized temporarily. Read more: https://windowtop.info/features/always-on-top/

  • Opacity - Set transparency for the window. You can easily adjust it via the "Opacity" button on the toolbar.

  • Opacity - Make window as a ghost - The opacity feature has an "enable click-through" option (available in the toolbar and as a hotkey if you configure it). When enabled, the mouse will not interact with the window.

  • Anchors - This is a very innovative way to switch between windows. It is similar to the "WinRoll" program by far more advanced. It will replace the alt-tab method and be a much more efficient way to switch windows. See more on: https://windowtop.info/features/anchors/

  • Interactive PiP (Picture-in-Picture) - Put any window in PiP mode and even interact with the window. PiP also supports hiding the original window.

  • Crop - Allows you to cut a sub-region of a window to show only the selected region. You can crop from PiP mode or directly from the native window. When the crop is enabled, you can even interact with the window.

  • Dark Mode - WindowTops allows you to force any window to become dark, even if it is not natively supported. It is done by inverting the window colors when it is bright enough. WindowTop is the only market app with an intelligent dark mode that will avoid inverting images. Read more: https://windowtop.info/features/dark-mode/
  • Glass Mode - It is similar to opacity but more intelligent. Unlike opacity, this effect is much more complicated and can set a specific transparency level to the background pixels while keeping the text without transparency. Read more: https://windowtop.info/features/glass-mode/
