Always on top, always focused

[guitara]

I figured I've asked enough questions, and gotten enough help, that I should post something. Here's a little example of a basic app I dev'd for work. It lets you select a window to be always on top, and always focused. It does allow for mouse clicks outside of the window. I use this at work when I want to type into say Word, while examining an image. I click or zoom on the image, then continue typing, without having to reset focus. Also includes a pause hotkey, and allows you to temporarily suspend the always focused property by minimizing. Questions, comments, feedback welcome.
