I have been scouring all the resources I can find for this answer as well. I want my published .exe GUI windows (plan to have multiple), to be always on top (like Task $$anonymous$$anager). It is easy enough to do in C# or C++, by just setting the Top$$anonymous$$ost attribute, on the Form.

Is there no Unity equivalent to this concept? Or is there a way to tap into that native C# property/attribute, through the Unity API code?

I'm looking for this too. I'm trying to get my app not reduced when some usb is plugged in, or when windows make notifications, so the app is alway open, on top, and full screen. No answer ? Is it even possible ?

Sounds to me like you're trying to build a "game" with virus-like behavior, in order to scam/trick people I presume? My advice/answer would be to not use unity for this task.

So then, by your logic, the Unity IDE is a virus, since it has always on top windows? I (InigoMontoya) was actually writing a utility program, and toying with the idea of using Unity for it ... glad I switched to VB (right tool for the right job). That said, it seems dumb that Unity doesn't support this.
