Which Themes Have Pin?

from Stardock Forums

I really only want Windowblinds for the Pin button some themes have. What are some attractive themes with that capacity, and is there a way to see all such themes?

 

Thanks.

What do you mean Pin button?  A certain start button style or a style of min max close buttons?

And, what OS are you using?  Different themes are made for XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

Pin button allows inactive windows to be "pinned" on top.

 

Using Windows 7

Any skin can be set to pin to top (or sundry other actions) using the title bar in the settings.

I have to ask, when would you want or need an inactive window pinned on top?  :S

Fairly often when working on smaller monitors I want to read something in one window while I am typing on another.  I can spend a bunch of time arranging windows or I can pin it to the top and if it covers the part of the active window I don't care . . I can still read what I want.

Other uses may exist.  ;)

When I have mIRC running, all the different channels + main window are set to "Always on top". Same goes for WinAmp.

Having said that . .I also use WindowFX  transparency set on the front window so I can see the inactive, reading window underneath.

It really depends on my mood.

There are two truly functional 'possibilities' for WB [outside of the purely aesthetic] rollup and pin.

'Pin' is a control of the Z-order assigned to windows through 'focus'.....[working on them].

Simple things...like copying/typing a reg key into an app install....the app steals focus as you type and you'd lose the key [notepad] if you couldn't pin notepad to the fore....;)
