I would probably say that it's close to impossible to make it work for every game/application. You would most likely have to make it hook directly into DirectX (or whatever graphics engine the game uses) to actually render it to the screen 'over' (above) the game.

thank you for telling me that [Image: msn_tongue.gif] so now i dont think this script is really useful for what he wanted [Image: dodgy.gif]

oh well i will finish it off (about and help windows) and if anybody wants it please tell me here but it most likely wont be done till tomorrow because i have donee a fair bit in my eyes on it and need to get some rest from scripting.

if you have suggestions or questions about the script please feel free to ask

There must be a way to get it to show on top of everything, surely?

i dont think that is possable and sometime doing this stuff make the full screen app minamize witch can be really bad if you are doing something good or in a hard place/situation.

but i will finish the script off tomorrow because im too tierd tonight but i have made it look better than the earlier picture.

and will have to make a gui to input the x & y position of the window because atm it is just writen in the script.

You could make your full screen game open in a window and then the always on top should work I think.  It depends on the game on what you have to do to open it in a window.

CS:CZ can open in a window, but it looks 1000000000x better when it's full screen, isn't there a way to make it on top of the full screen game?

I highly doubt it, just think how your game reacts when a toast comes up, it will be like that but where the window that Jay_Jay made is.

It is possible, by injecting into the DirectX... and trust me, thats facking hard!

(im still trying to work it out... and im not even using JScript to work it out.... plus most anti-cheat systems on games wont like this)

If you maximize  the game window, it shouldn't look to different from playing full screen as it's around the same size... When you say Always On Top should work this, do you mean it will work as in show where the game isn't being displayed, or do you mean it'll show on top of the game window?
