It can be achieved using e.g. Autoit3 https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/doc...tOnTop.htmNope, does not work, not in true fullscreen mode at least, which is the primary usage scenario for this patch. In true fullscreen mode, vanilla Kodi actively minimizes as soon as it loses focus, first of all to mimic the old DX9 behavior and second, to prevent DXGI_STATUS_OCCLUDED which would result in auto-switching back to fake fullscreen mode.

However, the benefit of Open Source is that everybody can read, change or re-use the code. So you can always take my patch and adapt it to new versions, improve it, do whatever you like with it, as long as you comply with the GPLv2.

I forgot to take care of restoring topmost state after running external programs (which is what you are doing). I'll look into it, should be fixed in the next build.
Code:import xbmc
xbmc.executebuiltin('XBMC.System.Exec(""C:\\Users\\firewater\\Kodi\\portable_data\\userdata\\nfo.bat"")')
Losing it, still.

This hasn't happened after trying your build. Could the two things be related? Hope to hear from you.You should first try to get this original problem fixed, as this sounds like a problem with your system, not with Kodi. If you're confident that it's a problem with Kodi, you might want to submit a bug report. Please do not use my build when submitting a bug report, use the official version instead - my build is completely unsupported and no one will help you!
