Hi Jester, I am using menubar and menu even for these you can use setdepthabove and pass a titlewindow object. I am doing this whenever I can (user selects a window from the window menu) but I cannot set this when the user clicks on the window titlebar, in those cases the window is above the menu and menubars.
