cool   3D view is always on top and I don't want it to
Hi!

Thanks for this nice piece of software! It has been quite useful for me. biggrin

I registered to thank for Sweet Home 3D, but also to mention this little nit bit that is annoying me: the 3D view seems to be locked to being always on top (if displayed in a separate window).

That can be a bit intrusive, as I'd like to see things I am adjusting in a large preview window, and easily change (without minimizing the 3D view) to the editor and back and forth between the windows.

Maybe it could be left to the window manager to decide, what window is locked on top of others. That way, the user can decide! (at least on some OSes and DEs). IMHO this should be disabled (altogether) or made into a preference (keed 3D view on top).

(this is on Linux / Plasma)

Cheers! smile

The 3D view is always on top because it's a non modal dialog. Using a simple window would make it appear in the task bar.
