It will work, assuming your applications are put in the default layer (Layer 4) but if any of them start up in a different layer (via a Style line for instance) then the above function will toggle between that layer, and layer 6. This may or may not be sufficient for your needs - and probably in those cases where you might have explicitly asked for a known window to be in specific layer, toggling back to that is going to be what you wanted. If you want it explaining though: + I ThisWindow (Layer 6) Layer This line looks at the referenced window and if the window is at layer 6 (i.e., staysontop) then the window is put into its default layerr (presumably 4 -- see comment above). + I TestRc (NoMatch) Layer 0 6 Otherwise, we can assume the window wants to be on top. The TestRc command simply looks at the outcome of the last command ran in the function. So if the test on ThisWindow (Layer 6)... failed, the "Layer 06" command is run, making the window on top. I often get asked why I don't use Current in place of ThisWindow. The answer is simple: I use this function from FvwmEvent, where it's not guaranteed the window in question will have focus. It's a really popular question at the moment; I've probably answered it about six times this month. -- Thomas Adam
