is there a program/module to keep one window onscreen when switching between desktops? like, keep the tv program or movie player on screen while switching between desktops.


couldn't find anything with search. :\

look in personal.rc, and read the docs for the vwm module used by the theme (ckVWM if you're using austerity). Anyway, you need to add :
to personal.rc, save, and recycle.

If you set the title/classname correctly, the window will be 'sticky' i.e. it will appear on whatever desktop you switch to.

Usually you can just look at the titlebar of the window and use that. If that doesn't work, you should try the classname of the application.

Figuring out the classname would require the use of a utility such as WinSpy++.

ok thanks, especially that winspy++.

btw, if anybodys wondering, bsplayer has the play window as 'PLayF'.

I don't know why people who play with Class/Caption do not use literunner which allow you to assign a hotkey like this:
*hotkey CTRL WIN I !LiteRunnerIdentify

also LSTM2 has a built-in system to check the class 'n caption :) it's pretty handy.

or !VWMExec !alert "^@wc^/^@wt^" with a certain vwm module, if you're into that sort of thing. (ugly, cryptic commands, that is)
