With the correct WindowBlinds theme you can have an 'always on top' button.

yes, but i dont want to install a 10MB soft for an always on top feature :?
if its hard to do on DC++ i can live with it, but it would be good to have it :)

The problem with 'on top' is that there's a possible collision with other applications that also want to be 'on top' (that is, how do you decide which application that should 'the most on top'). I believe Raymond Chen has blogged about this..

I don't think this makes sense to implement.

There are utilities you can find on http://download.com that will do this job for you.
