Linux XFCE plugin on top pin
I apologize, it this topic is discussed earlier.
What is workaround about XFCE desktop environment or maybe Reaper itself to let this plugin/window on top pin appear? I read somewhere, that this is desktop environment "issue". My Linux knowledge is too short to make it work by myself. I'm using Linux Mint 20 XFCE with a bunch of JSFX, native Linux VST and LinVst'ed Windows VST plugins. Going to become an another Win10 refugee. Last edited by jazznfunk; 07-31-2020 at 02:41 AM. Reason: typo |

I just checked & yeah it doesn't seem to work on XFCE. While you can make it work on other apps it doesn't seem to work on plugin windows.
I also checked Gnome & it does work there. it's definitely far from as light as xfce but it's still a decent DE IMO

I opened a thread about this some time ago :
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=236928 There, a user talks about a window manager -bspwm in his case -, with which he manages the issue. I took a look at it, but it seemed rather complex and I haven't had time to delve in the issue, but neither did I realize that it could be indeed a Xfce thing. Anyway, as a Windows user, Xfce is too comfortable for my taste to change it. I suppose Justin could adjust Reaper's behaviour to enable this feature in other mainstream desktops, but I don't know how much of a hassle it would be for him -or if he will even read this at all -. I hope this can be fixed at some point, since it's definitely a quite useful feature in many scenarios. |
