On Top Replica
A real-time, always on top, "replica" of a window of your choice, based on DWM Thumbnails.
Completely written in C# for .NET 2.0, makes use of the
awesome Vista Controls library for all Vista controls and DWM features.
Requirements
You will need the .NET 2.0 framework and Windows Vista Home Premium (or better). The DWM Thumbnails functionality is only available if AERO is enabled.
Installation and User Guide
If you want to
install the application on your computer (or if you want to take a look at some screenshots and a short user guide), I highly suggest referring to the
Official Homepage of OnTopReplica. The version you'll find there installs very quickly via
ClickOnce (no Vista elevation required) and automatically checks for updates every week.
Features of current version
- Clone any of your windows and keep it always on top
- Select a subregion of the cloned window
- Store the selected subregions for future use
- Auto-resizing (fit the original window, half, quarter and fullscreen mode)
- Dock in task bar
- Adjustable opacity
- Hasslefree and non-invasive installation via ClickOnce
Future releases
- Enhance usability
- Clean up code
- ...ideas and contributions welcome. :)
