#4 Always on top

always on top capability/option is required.

Wow! A feature request after so many years :)

When I get a chance, this is a good idea (both for command-line and an option in the window menu).

For my own reference, it doesn't appear to be that hard:

Yes, I was getting frustrated with losing the mouse pointer on my laptop, and remembered Xeyes would indicate the mouse location.
So I found this little project, but because I run many applications fullscreen, the eyes get hidden too easily.
I checked the Win32API always-on-top capability, and it does look to be a very simple change.

I released version 1.2 that added always-on-top to the system menu. I still need to add the ability to remember the size, location and state between executions...

Usage:
Moving the eyes:

• You can move the eyes by left-click, hold, and dragging on the eyes

Resizing the eyes:

• Double-click or right-click the eyes to bring up the windows frame.
  Click and drag the frame. Then double-click or right-click the eyes
  to remove the frame.

Always on top:

• Hit ALT-space to bring up the system menu and then select "Always
  on top".
• Alternately: Double-click or right-click the eyes to bring up the
  windows frame. Then right-click on the menu bar to bring up the system
  menu. Select "Always on top". Then double-click or right-click the
  eyes to remove the frame.
