I'd like a way to keep a few apps always on top of the desktop - my calender, a todo app, etc. These then could act like a widget from the vista days.
Thanks!


Ahhh your post through me a bit, apps like calendars or todo widgets are just that widgets.

I use Desktop Gadgets which can be set to auto load with Windows on my Win 11 setup. ]]> Is it possible to pin windows to not be minimized (so it's like a desktop widget)?

These then could act like a widget from the vista days. I know you can set them to always be on top, but I want other windows to be able go on top if need be. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks! ]]>
