Known issue: Kodi might freeze when a competing always-on-top window pops up behind Kodi. As promised, I will PR once I find the time to work around this issue.

Edit: For those who didn't find it, Always-on-top is an option under System -> Video output. Default is disabled, so you have to enable it manually.

Hi @Shine,

Just wondering if you're still around, and what are the odds of a PR for this?
Would still LOVE to see this in Kodi...

Yes, I'm still around. I created my own thread to stop cluttering the DX11 thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=258640

Chances for a PR aren't very high right now, as I didn't manage to fully fix the issue mentioned. I can reclaim topmost, but after a few (successful) tries, DX will fall back to fake fullscreen mode regardless. I might need afedchin's help here, as I'm not a DirectX coder, but atm I'm quite busy with work and life, so I can't dedicate more time to Kodi than an occasional new build using my existing patches (links see my thread).

Please reply in my thread if you like to, and leave this thread to afedchin. Thanks for your support Smile
